My thought is a 401k... I don't really believe Social Security is going to be there for me when I retire unless we keep increasing taxes. Plus where in the constitution does it say that other people should pay for my retirement? Besides I think I could get a better rate of return on my money than the government could with my money. That way when I die my kids will get my 401k money...they definitely won't be getting my Social Security money.

What does everyone think?
American society needs both so long as we run as a capitalist nation for the poor and a socialist nation for the rich. Too many people depend on it and it is why you hear nothing about it today till the next GOP wacko gets in office and wants to reward the crooks and robbers, aka the rich socialists with more money. We all need to support SS, it is one of the few great things Americans are doing for Americans today.
