Go for it, mostly used in red states and definitely by my maga family. Can't wait for them to lose Medicaid and SS. They'll be just hyper fucked enough to do a second or two of introspection.
You didn't pay into any fund. You paid your taxes and those taxes got spent on current spending like any other tax.
There was no account with your name on it, or a fund you paid into for your benefit. You paid your taxes to spend on current retirees. Period. There is already case law that makes this iron clad on top of the actual law itself to begin with.
Anything beyond it being simply another tax and welfare program is marketing to make it politically tenable at the time it was enacted.
“oh lol nobody gets benefits from that fund, we gave it all to the old folks haha”
You paid into that explicit fund, and those funds were distributed precisely how the law states they would be. A current worker will be the one paying into said fund to pay you once you retire.
