Maybe, maybe not. Washington won't let me have a look at their books. LOL. But..millions of people from the  baby boomers and older paid IRS because it was a requirement to pay it forward. When Washington passed SS they subtracted from every paycheck. I wasn't asked and being young it didn't matter but I worked and paid in because Pres. Johnson told us that it would be there drawing interest to be an aid in our old age. Interest would be a buffer for low input. Would have worked if interest was left in tact. But, it was a good plan to pull in trillions. New revenue to use untill each person retired. Back then you had to pay in to get any payout. Now you don't so goes  the mess. But we did our part. Now we don't matter to government. Time to raid the principal. Sort of like the PFD restructuring. It's doomed.
