Social Security is not a pension program. The money collected in the name of the program is simply an income tax that gets deposited directly into the general fund and is prohibited by law from being earmarked for any specific purpose. It is also not your money and you have no legal right to access it if the government wants to tell you to F off. The program was intended to last for about 15 years after it's inception because even back then actuaries understood that the program would not be sustainable. With very few exceptions there is no income that should not be taxed because if you don't have skin in the game then you don't care what rate the government taxes other people at.
Spoken like a true libtard. It's dammm sure not the gov't's money, as they don't have any.
I am simply quoting the law.
Once the government takes your money it is theirs. If you think otherwise try withdrawing the money you've paid in the name of Social Security or better yet send the Social Security Administration a letter saying that you wish to withdraw from the system and expect your principal to be returned.
They even have a system set up to take money before you have even earned it. They call it deficit spending.
