Social Security is a government redistribution program. It works something like this: All people between the ages of 18 (threshold of adulthood) and 62 (age of "retiree") pay a tax based on their income to the Social Security fund All people over the age of 62 collect a monthly check from the Social Security fund depending on their situation (married, number of dependents etc).
