    Those of use that were a part of the “Social Contract” of deposits to Social Security for 40 years MUST we return on that money invested in the fund. We DID invest in something - the government’s program.
    The truth is that MOST people would not save on their own and the Social Security is a back stop that gives a base for last years.
    Even wealthy persons who gave money to Social Security should get a return on their money - even though it is not their primary retirement funds.
    The bigger problem is the birth rate drop, and the phasing out of employment due to technology innovation The dollars coming in will not cover the cost.
