46% of Americans favor allowing the option of opting out of SS. I find that number amazing, especially after the stock market debacle. I wonder if we will have a "Nixon Going to China" moment in public policy? On the other hand, even though opt out wins a plurality, the same poll has soak-the-rich (in the form of making all income liable to the SS tax--which people don't even bother calling a contribution anymore) policy winning a filibuster proof majority.
