Since civilizations began to arise around the world, establishing rules for societies, delegating tasks between individuals, and creating a sense of order among humans, the development and spread of myths have also born as a collective aid and tool, customary used to explain to the general public a certain ideology, moral lesson or origin of an element, disguised in the form of narration with fictional and non-fictional elements. Nowadays, most myths are considered fictitious stories that help preserve false beliefs or misconceptions, since they were initially created to establish the origins or sources of current things. One of the most widespread and popular myths in the United States is that the Social Security program was built by the government as a way to step in to answer the general public's demand for systematic insurance that the private sector was unable to provide. . As Milton Friedman lays out in one of his most famous speeches on Social Security, public demand for a Social Security program was nonexistent in the early 1990s. In fact, Friedman reveals that the basis of the myth began with advertising the program as a desired insurance program, in which demand for the program was created and forced into people. In reality, an ideal insurance program favored by the general public would have first defined equality and fairness to some extent in order to create an ideal package that would have at least sought to benefit society as a whole, if the program had had a real question to start with. However, the implementation and labeling of the program never achieved consensus on what the public really wanted, and ended up creating a flawed tax system, with an im…… half of paper… or to some extent from the richest workers to the poorest to those who qualify through a check sent by the US Treasury at the beginning of each month, and the benefits you can receive are based on your individual contribution and highest earning years. However, the program defines the qualifications for these benefits in such a way that people need to be in very specific scenarios in order to receive them, situations that need to be revisited and explored to fill the system's many gaps. the program currently has. So, the Social Security program appears to have been created under the myth that the public was demanding some kind of structured protection from the private sector, and the government has responded to this with a number of other myths calling them benefits and claiming that the program he would have moved on. redistribute income equitably.
