From the Paper:

"The Social Security Act became law in 1935, and since that time, Americans have been contributing a portion of their wages to the Social Security Administration to pay benefits to retirees in their golden years. Today, Social Security benefits are paid to adults and children who are disabled, and spouses of Social Security beneficiaries. The program has always been funded by individual payroll contributions. Everyone in the country, except government workers, pay into the Social Security fund, and then the funds are paid out to retirees. The system seems simple enough, but there are many who believe the system is doomed to failure, and because of this, the system should be privatized before the government has to spend billions of dollars to shore up the system and keep it solvent."
