I turned 65 and I wish they had allowed even 10% of the pyramid scheme called social security to be used for personal investing.
The people who do not want people to control even a part of their money that is stolen by government fiat are the ones who are afraid it will not remain a welfare fund.

Black males life expectencies are skewed to the short because far too many of them wind up shot to death or OD in the streets before they reach 25, as well as much higher infant mortality rates. You take away those deaths and their life expectency is not as short as the activists want you to believe.

The argument against privatizing social security usually revolves around the assumption that investing in the GOVERNMENT is a safe one, while the MARKET is risky.

Our government is currently in a DEFICIT situation, borrowing from the future. If it were a business, our government wouldn't be able to get a loan to continue operations. Meanwhile, the equity markets are showing cumulative profits in the billions.

Just a thought.
