	Social Security (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Social Security in the United States is a social insurance program funded through a dedicated payroll tax.
		As a result of these changes, the Social Security system began to generate a large surplus of funds, intended to cover the added retirement costs of the "boomers." Congress invested these surpluses into special series, non-marketable U.S. Government bonds which are held by the Social Security trust fund.
		The Social Security portion of this tax is 6.2% of the first $90,000 (in 2005) of an employee's income paid directly by the employer, and an additional 6.2% of the first $90,000 (in 2005) deducted from the employee's paycheck, yielding an effective rate of 12.4% of an employee's income.

	U.S. Treasury - Fact Sheet on the History of the U.S. Tax System
		Though social policies sometimes governed the course of tax policy even in the early days of the Republic, the nature of these policies did not extend either to the collection of taxes so as to equalize incomes and wealth, or for the purpose of redistributing income or wealth.
		Another revenue act was passed in 1918, which hiked tax rates once again, this time raising the bottom rate to 6 percent and the top rate to 77 percent.
		Of course, the expansions of Social Security and the creation of Medicare and Medicaid required additional tax revenues, and thus the basic payroll tax was repeatedly increased over the years.
