I'm the same, I look back on all the SS I paid in and think how much MORE money I'd have been able to invest with, if I didn't have to pay into that shit

If SS is intended to be a safety net, it does not make sense to transfer risk to those who are least qualified to assess the risk. You'd have people losing their savings in beanie baby futures, and then we'd have to pay more welfare to keep them from littering the streets.
