In the countries hated by the US and its lackeys which they try to overthrow their governments and install US puppets in place have already a far more advanced social security, which does what the name meaning implies: secure the social community by securing its members, the citizens.
In Syria, for example, the 'dictatorship' there allows a number of social security programs, in addition to the private sector plans there are for instance: the main social security pension and disability fund sponsored (mamaged) by the ministry of labor social affairs, yes there is such a ministry, it has hundreds of thousands of Syrians registered in all types of businesses and in public, private and mix-sectors. They deduct a small amount of the monthly salary, each month, and pay upon retiring 21 days salary, back to the pensioner, each month until the pensioner dies, and then split the same 2/3rd of the salary the 21 days payment worth among the pensioner's spouse and first set of children and parents, if one of the children gets their own pension plan then their share is added to the pool back and distributed among the others.
One can earn a retirement if they complete 15 years of work, can be extended to 25 years if they chose to continue working, or in case of a disability.

The same social security plan covers all medical expenses for the pensioner and their direct dependents... Keep in mind that health care in Syria is provided by public hospitals and clinics for free for treatments from headache to cancer chemotherapy, however, if needed or in cases of emergency or whne the clinic or hospital or private doctor is registered with the social security establishment then the same treatment would be covered as well.

Sorry for the long comment but I guess that's the norms around the world, otherwise why the state takes the taxes from the workers and social security contributions? BTW total of income tax and social security is usually around 15% of total monthly earning, not more. Add to it that all essentials in Syria are subsidized up to 75% of its cost... You see why they want to replace the current Syrian 'dictatorship' with a Macron type reformist or the Oasis of democracy in Saudi or Qatar..

Lee, LEARN what communism is, before you promote it so happily.
Sanders is a DECLARED COMMUNIST, if he says, he "gives" you anything, it won't come from his own money, billionaires will move out, and the only people who will stay, will need to pay for it.
if Sanders says, he's "give" you anything, he PROMISES you, he'll take EVERYTHING from you, and he alone will decide, what you need, and will pay for it, with your own money. he won't ask anyone if he wants a carousel, he buys it with YOUR money, either you like it or not.
I got caught in last years of "USSR", we were more free then, than most americans are today, we did have, and still do "free" medical care, but quality was/is questionable, people are dying in waitinfg rooms, or dying waiting for visits FOR 6-10 YEARS in line.
Governments are people, mainly greedy assholes without any shame or morals, that are hungry for power not over a country, but over us, everyone individually, they want full control over YOUR daily life, and now, you're cheering for it and are asking for it, at the same time bashing fb, for invading your privacy on behalf of the government.
US IS A COMMUNIST STATE, but still have people left, that believe, they need to fight it, and do fight against it. Federal government is trying daily to snatch more and more power from states, and centralize it, and you yourself often fight against it.
So tell me Lee. How come, you're so happily promote COMMUNIST SANDERS, when communism itself is "centralization of power", when he himself promises you he want's to be the only person to rule over the whole of people as a God? When he promises you, states will be robbed of any power left.
USSR fell because of this sick ideology, yet you're willing to repeat it?
