"Social Security is robbing Americans of their future, because it forces all workers to paying into a socialist program that promises a very dismal return. This is a promise that will not be met for younger Americans if the system is not fixed."

This article reproduces a very interesting graph showing rate of return to retirees on their SS "contributions" by year of birth for the top, middle and bottom income quintiles.
