You do realize that a lot of people that are retirement age didn't have the advantages of 401K do you? Also, lots of people don't have the funds to invest. What if something like Enron happened? Social Security is meant for those who become disabled and can no longer work as well, you know.

If you didn't have to pay into social security you would have the funds to invest for a retirement package.

Enron was a single company, the reason if hurt some peoples retirement is because they invested their retirement package into a single company, all you have to do is diversify your retirement (mutual funds are a good way) then you don't have to worry about the failure of a single company.
