No, not all entitlements are funded by Social Security tax. While Social Security benefits, such as retirement and disability payments, are primarily funded through payroll taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), other entitlements, like Medicare and Medicaid, have different funding sources, including general tax revenues and specific taxes. Additionally, programs such as food assistance and housing benefits rely on various federal and state funding mechanisms.

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.

Why do Social Security insurance benefits vary from state to state?

They don't. Regular Social Security retirement and disability benefits are the same in all 50 states. Social Security is a federal program that pays differing amounts of cash benefits depending on how much you contributed in FICA taxes, the number of years worked, and your age at retirement, among other things.Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a form of welfare for low-income disabled people and seniors 65 and older, is also funded by the Social Security trust, but some states supplement the federal payout, so the benefit received may vary depending on your state of residence.
