Should the Social Security system be privatized?

Question

this is the question for my essay, can you just give me an idea and not answer it so i have something to build off since i know nothing about social security, thank you.

Answer 1

If you invested the money that the Fed takes from you each pay check, you would get a MUCH higher return than what you get back from the government. It's alot of money over an entire working career....to bad you can't choose how it is invested to get the best bang for you buck...

Read this about the history of social security. Don't use Wikipedia as a source, but the info is interesting. You can see how outdated the program is...
