The government doesn't just give you your own money back...the amount of money you get from Social Security has very little relationship to the total amount of money you put in.
As a general rule, wealthy people get more in social security than working class people, but it is quite a bit more complicated. Social security currently rewards people who make a large amount of money in a just a couple years of work, and penalizes people who make a constant salary but work hard for their entire lives.
