So you put 12.4% of your income (to some limit), your employer matches it and vwala! You've saved for retirement!!
Besides being wrong here about the number, the actual amount going to SS is not enough (even if it really were "saved") to provide people with the retirement most people would like. That is rather the point of a lot of the threads here.
I understand that and have been supportive of many of the reforms you and others have mentioned. John's statement made it sound as if people receiving SS are living completely off of the largess of the working public when, in fact, they have at least paid _some_ of their dues.
