Yes, Social Security is not a savings plan. It's more like forced insurance. They're stealing your money and giving it to someone else. It requires an ever-expanding base of payers in order to support the payouts. There is another activity which matches that description...

At least you're intelligent enough to understand it more closely resembles insurance. It makes more sense to discuss it in that context rather than as savings.

Now, regarding the forcing, auto insurance is forced as well. A good foundation for discussion would be why insurance is forced in the first place.
