Sorry, but I don't see your point.
The point is that Social Security is not a "pay in to receive a ROI" program, as many people believe it to me. You are not "paying in." Your tax money is not being saved for your retirement. Your money is being taken via taxation and being given to someone else. Later on, if you collect benefits, it will be someone else's money which has been taken from them.
It is nothing more than a welfare system, where a special tax is being itemized on your payroll taxes. Everything else you believe about SS is all smoke and mirrors.
