The politicos do not want to fix SS then they cannot steal money from it to pay for pork projects that keep them power. It's time to take back our government.

Is the former a payroll deduction similar to our standard government-enforced social secuity withholding? Otherwise all you are saying is that people should save for old age to supplement social secuity, which was the intent even when social security was originally proposed by FDR. The problem is what the government has done with the funds withheld from the employee and the employer, which have resulted in far less earnings growth than would have been accomplished under private investment.
