Americans should have the option of contributing to Social Security

Every two weeks I see a portion of my paycheck going to a social security fund. I'll also receive a letter in the mail every now and then showing me how much I have contributed each year to Social Security.

I didn't sign up for this and I don't want to contribute. There are more beneficial ways to save for my own retirement such as 401k's and Roth IRA's.

Instead of the government taking my money and bailing out those that make bad business decisions, I should have the option of contributing to Social Security programs or not.

We all know that the younger generations will not have these funds available to them in the future. US Government: please let me opt-out of Social Security contributions. Even the house in the logo has a big crack in it.
