Tell you what, for four to five times the retirement income, they can destroy Social Security for all I care.
Put the money away and let it draw interest. Then the government won’t have to subsidize a fund, or more like it, steal from it.
The govt. will surely steal some of it via taxes sooner or later unless you go underground.
Are you thinking of a tax deferred retirement option, somethink like a 401K? It's hard to keep the govt. away from it as things are now.
I wrote in my previous post:
the megabanks are not to be trusted with retirement money
I should have added, don't trust the govt. either, but that is pretty obvious.
