So you're saying that anyone can get social security worker benefits without paying into the system? That's news to me. In fact, they allow you to send for a statement every year that tells you how much you've earned and how much your social security check will be based on how much you've contributed by way of your salary.
I guess I should not have said that they do not pay anything into the system, but they definitely do not pay in as much as they get from the system. They falsify records, obtain SSN's and then claim totalization.
Take a look at this. It may help you understand the problem:

Well that applies to anyone who pays into the SS system, was a 'low wage' worker, and lives a long time. You might know that Ida May Fuller was the first social security recipient. She paid in a total of $24.75, retired in 1939, lived to be 100 years old in 1975, and in the process collected $22,888.92 in benefits.
