“If a worker earns at least the Social‑Security taxable maximum every year for 40 years and then receives the maximum retirement benefit for 30 years, the total benefits are several times larger than the total Social‑Security taxes that worker paid.”
Who pays for the benefits beyond the retiree’s contributions? Younger W2 employees “pay” the difference.
Social security is by definition a Ponzi scheme. Do you feel secure yet?
