What you are describing is something altogether different from the intended purpose of social security.

SS was never intended to be a savings device or a way to pass on wealth to your children. What it is intended for is to ensure that when we are old and no longer capable of working, we don't have to live on the street and hunt for scraps of food in garbage cans.

I think SS can be changed to better fulfill that function (it can be made less expensive and less wasteful, like all government programs), but the ability to pass wealth onto your children does nothing to fulfill the purpose of SS.
