social security is a special tax that every employee and employer pays under the promise that you will receive payments from the government (future employees taxes) after you reach a certain age. it is not the same as food stamps, wic, section 8 and all that other ghetto ass shit that you have to apply for and is optional. social security and medicare is compulsory; you do not have a choice to not participate. you will pay the taxes and you will sign up for medicare and you will receive a pittance of what you paid in to the old age, survivors, disability insurance program.
