Really depends on the country. In Germany the payments you get out of it are related to the ones you put into it and are separate from the taxes.

Same in Italy but it’s related to how much you paid, it’s not the same money. The money I’m currently paying are used to finance pensions to people retired now.

When I’ll retire (will never happen at this rate) I’ll get a pension that’s based on how much I contributed but the money will come from people who will still be working.
