The whole retirement system is constructed to benefit banks and investment companies. 401K participants are held prisoner by IRS rules constructed by bankers and passed by politicians. 401 K participants can only purchase investment vehicles dictated by the brokers. The brokers are a profit only partner who profit whether you make money or lose money. Every person should be able to have an Individual Retirement Account(IRA) with far greater contributions up to $25,000 a year. Does anyone believe a person with average luck will be able to retire with a maximum contribution of $6,000 a year.

I know a lot of cases similar into this challenging the a state for a constitutional change in order to adapt to the modern technology since our federal law still goes on its traditional way and is now far from our modern way of living. However, issues are still in dispute.
