Please, no. Social Security was never meant to be funded this way. It was originally supposed to be paid for by a tax on labor, originally a minuscule at ~3% but now it is around 12.5%. It was supposed to be something that would pay out roughly what you paid in. But now it looks like people want to decouple that aspect of Social Security and turn it into a general wealth redistribution program.
