Hey tell me what you think about my way of fixing social security?

First off, the government (especially the federal government), should not be mandating any type of forced savings program such as Social Security. In theory it sounds good but Constitutionally it isn't a sound idea.

Now, that aside, if we are to keep the social security program we simply should allow the free people of this great nation to make their own choices on how they want to invest their own money. After all, this is not the government's money. The government has nothing unless they take it from us.

Individuals should then be able to invest in a multitude of investment options from the stock market, mutual funds, gold, real estate, bonds or a simple traditional savings account. This account should then be owned by the individual so they can withdraw money at the age they choose for retirment and they can also will their account to family upon death.

The only way to fix any of our problems is to maximize freedom and choice and reduce government involvement.
