Yes. The math is good, but your missing one thing. The real rate of return may very well be 4-5%, but the return prior to inflation will be more like 7-8%.

If you want to compare apples to apples, then you need to reduce the gov't return you're getting on your SS contributions from 2% down to -1%, then compare that negative return to the 4% you cited. That would be apples to apples.
