They force you to put money into SS at the point of a gun because no one would invest in such a one-sided contract. I could in fact pay 1/20th the amount into a life insurance policy and my heirs would get back the same amount no matter when I died.\
Socials Security is intended to assure that elderly people who cannot work any longer will have some income even if they have experienced serious setbacks, like being disabled, or in a declining profession or making poor financial decisions.
Social Security has NOTHING TO DO with providing inheritance for your heirs.
If you want to retire well invest in a Roth IRA.
If you want to leave an inheritance, take out a life insurance policy.
Social Security does far more good than bad to the average citizen.
And no, it is NOT a "Ponzi Scheme"
