I sure agree with that. SS is a forced contract with forced payments that you can’t opt out of. For that and the other reasons you describe, it’s a form of large-scale fraud.
And unlike business ponzi schemes, government made it so that other people could sign you up, and like hotel california, you can never leave. If you arenlt the one signing the contract and government won’t allow you to get out of a contract you never signed, you are a slave.
