Trying to anticipate and avoid as many of your nits as possible:
Social Security is a government administered social program that may be amended from time to time, the purpose of which is to provide a mechanism for individuals to be provided with a core defined Joint and Survivor retirement benefit upon disability or healthy retirement, and which is to be supplemented by personal savings, insurance and/or other employer provided retirement benefts to maintain a total standard of living comparable to pre-retirement standards, and which is to be funded based on payroll taxes sufficient to provide those benefits.
