The discussion has gone far too far afield. If the purpose of social security is to keep the elderly from starving, why not just raise sufficient funds to do that (on an ongoing basis and based on reasonable projections) and leave people free to do whatever they want with any tax reduction that involves, if any?

That would be a beautiful thing. I get to invest my own money(and not starve) and the current people don't starve.

So, we agreed all along.
