Summary: Missing a lot of important information
Comment: The problems that I have with Schiff's book about Social Security are as follows:
1) It has too much filler material about how Social Security is unworkable. Even without reading this book the average John Q. American citizen already knows that.
2) He never covers the jurisdiction of the Social Security Act. The United States Congress has limited jurisdiction in which its law are applicable. Get a copy of the Constitution for the United States of America and read Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, which clearly states the legislative authority of congress:
"To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, byCession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;"
In other words congress (which is the opposite of progress!) only has jurisdiction in the above defined areas, not in the 50 union states! And it cannot force people in the union states to join it.
Here's an interesting United States Supreme Court case that should help you see the light on jurisdiction:
"The power of the United States to tax is limited to persons, property, and business within their jurisdiction, as much as that of a state is limited to the same subjects within its jurisdiction."
- United States v. Erie Ry. Co., 106 U.S. 327, 333, 1 S.Ct. 223 (1882)
Do a search on google under "federal jurisdiction" to find out more.
3) Schiff never informs the reader about 42 USC § 405 which has the requirements for obtaining a SSN. NOWHERE DOES IT STATES THAT ANYONE IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO APPLY OR POSSES ONE. Also see 20 CFR § 422.103(b). He never discusses how to deal with employers, banks, hospitals, and others when they ask for your SSN which no one is required to have. As an example 42 USC § 405(c)(2)(C)(i) allows the states to use the SSN "...in the administration of any tax, general public assistance, driver's license, or motor vehicle registration law within its jurisdiction,...." However if you keep reading § 405 you'll come across the following: "(vii) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "State" includes the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands."
The 50 union states aren't included in the definition. That is because congress can only pass laws for its own jurisdiction!
Also see the definitions of "State" and "United States" at 42 USC § 410 (h) and (i).
Search the web for "SOCIAL SECURITY TAX AND TAX WITHHOLDING ARE VOLUNTARY WITHIN THE 50 STATES". There's more detailed information in this document about SOCIALIST INSECURITY than in Schiff's book. Read it!

Summary: Another government fraud exposed
Comment: This is an excellent book and is a great followup to Schiff's book "The Biggest Con, How The Government is Fleecing You." Once again Schiff exposes Government fraud and deceit by showing, with Supreme Court decision, that the Social Security Tax is just another Income Tax and is not earmarked for any special purpose, but goes into the general fund to be spent as Congress wishes.
