If I continue in today's system, on average, I should receive a 1% return on my money until I retire. If they let me divert all my money to a personal account, I could invest all that money in Treasuries and get a 2% return. That's better than social security. Or I could invest in a lifecycle fund and get a 7-8% return. Either way, I will be better off than if I am forced to continue to give all my money to the current social security system. Don't you agree that a 2% return or a 7-8% return is better than a 1% return?
