- jamiek88 4y agoYeah but we paid into a social fund for Medicare and social security. It’s not tax revenue it’s our savings.
- kneebonian 4y agoIt wasnt't supposed to be tax revenue. Doesn't mean they didn't treat it that way anyway.
- Vt71fcAqt7 4y agoIs that what they told you? You don't "pay into" social security, you _pay for_ other old people's current social security. And you certainly do not "pay into" Medicare. Also the "social fund" of Medicare and social security certainly benefit "the little guy" more than anyone else, which was the whole point I was making. Also, who is "we?" Some people would rather have that cash for themselves or invest it on their own. And technically all taxes can be called a "social fund" so I don't see hiw this point even begins. If you go to jail for not paying into a "social fund" it's tax revenue.
