Sorry, but I am unable to think of my social security "contributions" as an
insurance premium.  The Social Security administration does not resemble an
insurance program in any financial sense.  Social Security is strictly
pay-as-you-go, with no investment.  If you tried to run an insurance
company like Social Security, you would go to jail.
