Social Security is a tax on most working people: Rich, Poor, White and non-White
The difference is that most who reach the wage point where Social Security has met the maximum deduction for a given year are white.
Not all working people are covered by or subject to Social Security Tax. Public School Teachers here in CT are not part of the system and pay into their own retirement scheme. My late mother collected her CT Teachers Retirement Board check for 31 years in retirement. Actyion by the Reagan regime made her ineligible to collect a spousal benefit on my father’s Social Security. Had she been a housewife she would have rec’d more than a quarter million dollars in Social Security Benefits in retirement.
