And they're still raiding the Social Security surpluss revenue

There is no SS surplus. That is a fallicy. People receiving SS today are getting it directly from those people working today. However, the govt. does take money from SS & purchases bonds and other money-growth funds.

It's my understandng that the SS "tax" collected from employees and employers is currently in excess of the amount needed to fund annual expendatures.

The excess goes into the general fund.

If this is incorrect, please explain.
