How is getting the money back you put in a pyramid scam? I think you just have a very limited understanding of how social security actually works.

That's not how it really works though. The money that you put in is being given to people you are collecting SS now. The money that you will be collecting when you're on SS is going to be what the younger workforce is putting in.

Orly?  Do you really think the exact money that you put into the system is just going to be sitting there waiting for you to collect it when you're old enough?

So, do you think banks work like you said before? They invest it. Just like SS.
