How do you respond to this right wing talking point about Social Security?

Advertisements [?]

I've heard it quite a few times, but I can't deny that it IS a valid point.

Basically, they bring up people who die before they turn 65. Those people paid into Social Security all their life, and then they don't get any of it back, and neither does their family. With private accounts that wouldn't be a problem since their family could access the account.

This IS a problem as I see it, but privatization is not neccesarily the only way to fix it. What would you propose?
