Social Security is a retirement plan basically. And when it was concieved they planned on 10 workers to every 1 person who needed SS. But now there isn't a 10:1 ratio anymore because there are less workers coming up, but more people in retirement. Personally, I'd rather have my own retirement plan rather than something the government decides for me.
Perhaps this is because YOU can afford a private retirement plan.
