Fill out your W-4 correctly, nothing will be taken out. Social security is a participation program, if you want it pay into it, read all the fine print. However, if you choose this route do not go begging for welfare, unemployment bs. You keep what is yours and they keep what is theirs, no handouts in this relm. It is not hard, but it isn't easy either. You have to learn to navigate things differently for a while before it become second nature.

EDIT: this only applies if you are not employed by the public/federal or do business with them.
