I agree with you but the problem is there a lot of MORONS out there that would have blown their social security money on: bad investments, the casino, cigarettes and booze, etc ...you name it. Without any social security money left these people would have been saying, "ooh poor me" and we, the responsible people, would have been forced to pay for the "less fortunate" through new taxes on anything and everything you can think of. Blah. Unfortunately, we should keep it the way it is with modifications to keep it solvent for the future.
