This old Greek man is crying, cause he can't cash out his money of the bank

Well, kinda. People pay into Social Security. Pensions are funded either from employees, employers, or most likely both. The idea behind SS is sound: people pay into their whole working lives and use it only when they have to. Also, people are encouraged to have retirement funds and other back-ups. Nobody plans on living off their SS alone.

The problem with SS is that the government has tapped into it to pay for other things. Otherwise the money would still be there and it would work. But since the govt went and spent it all, the whole system is in trouble.

No one plans on living off SS alone? Horse hockey. I worked at a credit union for years and saw SS come in and older people has nothing else.
