I'm not sure what you mean about getting to keep 2% of your money. If you are talking about the amount that you would be able to put into your privatization account, you should read the fine print. At retirement you only get to keep the amount that you earned on your investments that exceeds the 3% return that Social security currently earns. And even then you may be forced to either buy an annuity with the remaining balance, or be limited to the amount of money withdrawn every year.

Ownership society my ass.
