What class warfare? those were just facts.

And all you would be Social Security privatizers should really take a course in economics.

Social Security funds are invested in US Treasury Bonds, a riskless investment that pays the pure interest rate.
Any investment that pays more involves risk, the cost of that risk will in the long run equal the additional return, due to a thing called arbitrage.
Go ahead, look it up.
