I'm not "Ant-Oldster" and have the greatest respect for the greatest generation but it's time to fix this turkey of a program. Raising taxes just delays the bankruptcy. Obviously you don't understand the problems with the program as higher taxation, lower benefits and higher retirement age lie in the future of the Gen Xers if the program stays in it's current form.
Bottom line is Social Security is no where near going bankrupt and will be very solvent for at least the next 70 years. Talk to the contrary is simply not true. In fact, there is no real need to even raise FICA.
I looked into opting out of Social Security many years ago and found there was no way to do it. If I and many millions of others had to be in Social Security, then everyone else should have to do it too. Anything less short changes those that have contributed all these many years.
