You're paying their social security.

By the same logic, they paid someone else's social security. I'm not sure why that point is relevant here.

Social Security has been taxing wages, and paying out benefits, since 1937. I entered the workforce in 1977 and have been paying into SS my entire work life.

Pretty much anyone born after 1919 has been paying SS taxes their whole work life.
