Social Security was started by FDR as a way to sucker in middle America to the concept that they should not have to do their own retirement planning, but to allow the government to take care of their retirement instead. But if all that money taxed from Americans had been invested in the stock market instead of tossed down the government hole, Social Security could have provided very comfortable retirements for all who paid in, instead of the pittance it pays now. The whole program is a big piece of shit, and unfortunately people have bought into this shit and now the system is broke and there's no way to keep it going.
It was a Ponzi scheme from the get go.
