get rid of it. teach people about investing, employer matching, and roth IRAs.

I don't want to pay social security because I can get a far better return then some crap annuity by myself and I could really use that money for better things.

annuities just aren't a good deal, and that's how most pension plans are run... investment accounts (401k's/IRA's/Roth IRA's, etc) give a much better return, and more control (though safe(r) funds exist for those not knowledgeable in investing but interested in getting more than the .07% a bank gives or the 5-6% on a bank's CD).
