social security pays out taxes from those currently working to those who aren't working. you do not have an account like a 401k where the funds are held in trust, benefits are paid out until death and you can even get spousal benefits.
it's just welfare for old people made to look like a pension plan so they don't feel bad about being welfare queens. same thing with medicare
