re: Social Security - Help me understand better

Instead of allowing these retirement systems be exempt from social security withholdings, they should give the workers the option to still pay into social security and retirement so they can collect both when they retire.

I doubt that employers are going to do this. I pay 7% and my employer matches me 2:1, but I'm exempt from Social Security. I doubt that they would continue to match at 2:1 if they were also having to match in SS. Besides, I trust the private sector to manage my money much better than the government.
