I'm trying to read through the wording..the terms may not be properly used.
Remember the political campaigns saying they wanted the SS taxes to be in a "lock box"? I think that's what your asking, at least in part.
SS, etc are intended to be fully funded by the payroll taxes. They were not expected to use other taxes, nor were the funds collected to be used for anything else. So, what happens when there is a projected shortfall, on either side of the equation? Politics..change the equation or at least the projection!
Self employment tax is not a separate tax...it just means the portion of FICA that would otherwise be required to be paid by an employer is paid by the self employed person.."his business"...if you will. The tax paid totals the same if employed by someone else or self employed.

Why should the government keep social security?
The biggest argument in favor of keeping Social Security is that since 1935 all workers in the U.S. have been funding Social Security through the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes that are deducted from their pay with the promise that some day it will be their turn to collect payments, which will be funded by the FICA taxes collected from the next generation. The reason Social Security is failing is that in 1935 they did not anticipate that the ratio of retirement-age people to working-age people would increase as much as it has.
Who pays for social services?
Social services are typically funded by a combination of government allocations, private donations, and grants.
