False statement...

EVERY (That's right...I said "EVERY") 5 year and/or 10 year period you'd like to choose from the introduction of Social Security on has had a HIGHER rate of return than Social Security's measly 2%...

In EVERY case putting a small percentage of your money into the stocks instead of giving it to the government for them to create IOUs has GAINED more money than just putting it into Social Security as is MANDATED...
