They are definitely a tax. Your employer should be showing them on your pay stub along with the other things deducted from your pay.

Let's say I guarantee your retirement if you'll pay me a monthly portion of your income. So you pay me and I take that money and buy a ne kitchen appliance and write an IOU which I stick in a safety deposit box on which I have to pay monthly rent. That's social security.

That's pretty close, except one plan is backed by Botnst and has no track record, the other is backed by the United States of America and has a track record of preventing untold numbers of Americans from falling into poverty for about 75 years or so. No offense, but I think I will go with the current plan.
