And there’s the rub, especially for those whose retirement depends exclusively or almost entirely upon Social Security- which explains why it was set up that way.

And a plan where

-I keep my share of what I contribute to SS
-The government keeps what my employer(s) contribute
-I get nothing out of the entire Social Security program

...would have helped fund those who are less fortunate.
