Absolutely you can.
Move to Galveston, Texas and get a job with the county.

Only if you are a member of one of a very few approved religious groups that eschew any type of public support or insurance benefits and provide a similar level of support to members of the group as Social Security and Medicare do. That's limited to certain Anabaptist, Mennonite or Amish sects that have existed continuously since December 31, 1950.
Just because you "don't want nothing to do with that program no more" isn't reason to be exempted. And if your wages are too low, may I suggest some schooling? Your grammar and sentence structure are terrible; that's what's probably holding you back.

No, there's nothing you can do. And Social Security will be there when you retire.
It would be much better if President Bush had been successful in allowing us to privatize part of our deductions, so that we could see where it is, and watch it grow.
And by the way, thanks to the tax-and-spend Democrats, the money being deducted today is going to support the senior citizens of today. And it's also going to support legal immigrants who were brought here by their adult children, and never worked a day in their life in the U.S.A. These are more reasonable things to be concerned about.

The government isn't taking that money from your paycheck. Your employer is withholding it under the laws, and is forwarding it to the United States Treasury.
Whether or not you like or trust the program, you have no choice. The laws require that all of us continue to pay until the laws are changed.

Yes, it's a Ponzi scheme that'll collapse long before anyone under 40 today ever retires. No, there's nothing you can legally do today to keep the government from confiscating your money with your employer as a middleman except stopping working and depending on government handouts for your support.
Unfortunately, attempts to change the law will probably be unsuccessful because more retired people vote than under-30's.

Sorry. I want my benefits when I am eligible to take it. Keep working and thank-you.

Sorry, you are stuck with it as are we all.
Of course if you really are not happy with it, you could always move to another country.

No, you can't. It's not optional.
