Not really possible. Do the math and calculate what sort of GDP increase we will need (assuming no extra government spending and a return in taxers of 20% of GDP).
You don't get it.
You need less tax base not more if you capture 5-7% return from an investment portfolio.
Currently the government steals from ss ponzi at us treasury rates which don't even keep up with inflation.
To some degree greater than zero, you can tax people the same, offer them the same pension, and dig out of the hole strictly because you're getting an actual return on the funds.
The key is to unlock compounding returns.

Even if we are to assume you're correct, that would take decades to see fruits, let alone make a difference. It won't work.
Maybe if Reagan had started this in the 80s
