When the government comes up with a plan to socialize security for its people, it’s not always in the best interests for its people. Not many live into the 90’s. They knew the average age of death. They in government ( no matter of party) could only see a win win situation. Pay all your life into ss and most die before or shortly after receiving a few years of checks. What a bargain! However the wise investors would’ve had a million $ to leave their children or spouse. Probably a lot more than $1,000,000. Now then, people who blew their money and lived paycheck to paycheck would have nothing but government housing and food stamps. Of course the streets could be lined with the homeless! (Just a thought) the Amish n old order mennonites never pay one penny to social security and they seem to manage well being out of the system.
