It seems to me that there is a solution to the SS mess.

First given that SS continually functions in the red...
Why not simply put a check box on the 1040 asking whether
the individual wishes to withdraw from SS, giving up all
that was paid in so far, or remain in the plan.

At the age of 18 ( or some other age that reflects maturity ) 
let each individual make this decision.  Once decided to 
withdraw, its irreversable.  

That way if you want out, you got it.  And you face any
consequences.  After all this is suppose to be the land
of freedom?
