I like the idea of private accounts in principle, but I see two problems.

1. I don't think that the people in the bottom 20% could build a nest egg that would provide a subsistence income. Especially those that are currently approaching middle age.

2. How do we pay for the "transition costs".

It's not a pragmatic solution until we address those issues.
