1. They could sell it on merit, but because the rich are only a small
percentage of the general population, they would get lynched by the other 98%. Can you see the story now: "I need to get more money to my based. I want to take SS money and invest it in the stock market to prop up companies stocks so that CEO's can get rich before the accountants come in. Also, my friends in the brokerage houses need business since the dot com bust has stopped a lot of people from trading".

2. No lie is too steep, no bullshit pit too deep for
the bushtapo when propagating their latest plan.

I suspect the true goal of the bushtapo is to again reduce the corporate tax burden by eliminating the mandatory SS matching payment made by the employer.

Will the stock market yield a 100% return on your Social Security "investment" at the end of each pay period?

The answer "Hell No" is the only one which comes to mind.
