Social Security Retirement Benefits are NOT simply income. It never has been nor will it ever be under its current structure. Distribution are composed of three elements:
1) post income tax dollars contributed by the individual earning the relate compensation,
2)
a) for an employee the employer’s (but generally employers’) contributions and/or
b) if self employed, the income tax deductible portion of the Self Employment Tax, and
3) earnings on all funds collected for the compensation earner.
Thus it can be seen that one portion [i.e., (1) above] is a return of invested capital and the other income [composed of the addition of (2) and (3) above].
On the other hand, your paycheck is generally pure income.
