Social Security is a great benefit for the wealthy. You can't compel anyone to do anything. If you do, you have a command society. You do know what that is, don't you? It provides survival money for the people at the bottom of the ladder so that we don't have to worry about them. Silicon Valley thinking. Buy off the low end so they don't make trouble. Have you considered that you squander their abilities by taking such an attitude? That's pure patrician, and it's bigoted. Instead of utilizing their potential skills your approach condemns them, and you lose because you don't get the advantage of their output. You're so liberated. Or if you want to be a little more idealistic, it's a contract between the generations in a society to look after each other. It's no contract. You don't know what a contract is. It was never meant to be a way of accumulating wealth and it never was anything but a welfare plan, though it had to be sold to the public as a retirement plan. What is this gibberish? wealth? welfare? retirement plan? You're confused. It is none of them. You sound like someone who would approve of bringing back private ownership of highways.
