Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are all government programs that provide economic security to people who are retired, unemployed, or unable to work. Social Security is provided through payroll taxes called the Self Employed Contributions Act Tax and the Federal Insurance Contributions Act. The tax is collected by the Internal Revenue Service and distributed to retirees, the unemployed, and people unable to have a job. Almost all people who earn a salary as income are taxed by FICA and/or SECA. Nearly all legal U.S. citizens working in the United States now have their own Social Security number. Nearly all working residents since Social Security was established in 1935 have a Social Security number needed to get a job or pay the IRS. Social Security was born during President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first term as a proxy for applying "social insurance" during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when the poverty rate among the elderly exceeded that of 50%. The law was an effort to limit unexpected and unsuspected dangers in present life: including old age, disability, poverty, unemployment, and the burden of widowers with or without children. President Roosevelt's opponents, however, recognized that the law was that of socialism Title II of the initial Social Security Act of 1935 established a national agreement intended to provide economic protection to the nation's workforce. The system created provided reimbursement to people who were 65 or older and had "earned" retirement benefits. through work in jobs covered by the system. The benefits were to be paid for by a payroll tax paid by employees and their employers on wages up to a certain amount. Monthly benefits that... half the card... for what they should pay. They did this by borrowing money through taxes paid by working class citizens of the United States. The other thing is that there is a huge generational difference in the population; the money paid doesn't support all the people, so they borrow money from the taxes we pay as a way to pay Social Security recipients. The huge problem is that we are now paying for something we hope to have but will probably never see a cent of it. Overall the system was designed to provide economic security but in turn has turned into a disaster of money being taken from revenue. which will probably never be seen by the people who pay for it. The tax paid by lenders is slowly increasing and becoming more and more complicated with new benefits very quickly. The law states that when we are taxed the government violates, by law, our property
