Uh, sebby, they don't, and never have, kept the money in a special place for you. they take the money deducted from your paycheck and use it to pay current benefits. Hence the problem.
Good to know you paid attention (sorta, well, for *you* you did a good job) in history in grade school and learned how they sold SS to the public.
Think of it as a regressive income tax and you will be better off.
