Social Security is an Annuity so it does fall under the Insurance umbrella.



Semantics. I'm talking about programs one voluntarily participates in vs. those that are compulsory. FICA withdrawals are a TAX, regardless of the "I" in the name. They are collected by the IRS and wage earners, with a few exceptions, can't opt out.

It's not semantics. It is an annuity. Just because you have to participate in it does not change that fact.
