state and local government employees, federal workers, and employees of non-profit organizations. Today, approximately 95 percent of all workers are covered by Social
Security. The program was designed to be a self-supporting federal program,
financed with payroll taxes and providing not just retirement income, but a
host of other insurance programs as well.
