I am personally vehemently opposed to a general system of taking peoples' money so you can give it back to them later. While the current system is based off the young supporting the old (which to me is fine - welfare-type initiative are surely necessary and this is no exception), it seems to me that privatization will just lock up your own money. While this is a noble idea for people who would inadequately save/invest for themselves, those people with either a greater fiscal understanding or a good PFA/broker are only getting hurt by this. Not only could the money be well invested by these individual and getting a higher return, but the reinvestment into many different sectors of the market would encourage more even and widespread economic develpoment. In general, the people who know how to use their money are the ones who have it. I would therefore propose that IF any privitization happens (which I do not think it should - under the current plan it's going to cost more than we can afford) the upper class should not have to pay a tax to establish their own social security account.
