The federal government set up social security to give people a secure retirement. However, the tax rates have increased on employees, employers, and the self-employed and the government has been filing I.O.U.'s to those in need of the money they invested into social security. It's becoming more and more common that social security beneficiaries are ending up paying more money through the social security taxes than they are getting back. The idea behind social security was to return more money through benefits to employees, employers, and the self-employed, it was essentially an investment. Now it has been abused my the federal government and they're stealing from Americans. Either privatize social security or reform it, so beneficiaries money is protected and they get paid fairly.
