Here is a historical table of the SS payroll tax:

taxpolicycenter.org

It shows steadily increasing taxes for DECADES!

The program has NEVER reached a "steady state" or
"equilibrium" condition! It relies on an increasing
number of "new entrants" and increasingly higher
taxes on these "new entrants"!

Now, it is finally coming unglued (which
is the ultimate fate of all Ponzi schemes).

Anyone under 40... let this be a lesson to you!
You have been RIPPED OFF! Accept it!
Learn from this experience, and NEVER TRUST
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGAIN! Vote for the
maximum possible tax cuts... to hell with the
deficit! I am totally serious about this.

Ignoring salary differences, SS is also a way of transferring money from black men to white women. Since black males have the shortest life span and white women have the longest.
