[QUOTE=Warfish;4252863]I have no faith in any form, that when I turn 65, that I will get anything from Social Security.

As such, any system where I keep my own money, is a system I'd support.[/QUOTE]

I would make a deal with the government right now. I'd take all of my contributions at nominal value, with 0 interest, and let the government off the hook for any and all SS payments to me in the future. I'll forgo the last two decades of interest or gains....just give my contributions back and voila...you're off the hook, Uncle Sam.
