The social security act actually has a provision for donating your monthly benefit back to the system. It would probably be better for our community to just take the money and waste it on things like goods and services. Most people will get their FICA tax back in benefits in something like 18-36 months. Social Security is an insurance/annuity program. Young people are insured. Old people are entitled. You are insured against disability and death if you are young. I can tell you from experience that those widows and orphans are not complaining about how much old people are getting out of the system.
