Retire earlier without a social security program in place? I guess you're assuming instead of paying those taxes, you'd sock the money away in retirement funds allowing you to earn a better rate of return than you'd get by paying into social security?
Firstdown, you really need to explain yourself better. You leave me guessing at what you're talking about.
If that's what you mean, the number of working poor staying in the workforce well beyond 65 will greatly outnumber those who can retire early, I can guarantee you that. American citizens are not a financially savvy group.
