Only in the US could we be required to pay into social security, a program that has a -4% return, and people still fight for it to exist.

Or maybe it's intentionally sabotaged after decades of curtailing to result in -4% return. Because other countries are quite happy with their social security.

How was it sabotaged? It works pretty much how it was originally designed.

Also, it's hard to find data on this so it's a generalization, but individuals in other countries are much less likely to invest in stocks and mutual funds compared to Americans. Social security or pensions are the default.
