I'm not being high and mighty, because I was one of those drunks, but still worked hard enough to pay in the maximum of SS portion for 35 years. If that could have been put into a personal account, it would have tripled by avoiding the red tape of being handled by government employees.

For you, it would have worked better. Instead of putting money into social security, you would have done a lot better investing your own money. You could make that argument.

Somehow, I don't think so.

Like most people, I think you would have spent that money in some other way and you would not be getting the benefits of a social security check in your later years.
