You can buy a lot better long term / life insurance policy for a lot
less money than SS takes out.

Where?

Call up any insurance agent. Total SS payments on max salary are around
$13,000 a year. You can buy a decent long term disability policy and and
have investment money left over for less than this.

And what can one get for less than "max salary" payments?

Considering the benefits that Social Security offers (disability,
dependent support, retirement, long term care supplement, etc etc) I
suggest that you are either misinformed, or you're deliberately lying to
try and push a political agenda.

My disability + long term care policies (healthy mid-40s) cost me around
$10K per year, and that offers NO coverage for my spouse or any dependent.

Long term care is not covered by SS. Long term disability is. As to less
than the max, you buy a less than max policy. You pay less than max to SS,
you get less than max payments. As to your children, get a term life
policy. If you are young enough to have children under 18 and that is what
the kids are covered too, you can get a large term policy for about $35 /
month. And when the widows and children act (as SS was originally known) it
was not the national retirement plan.
