False.
Most private‑sector employees and most self‑employed people do pay Social Security taxes (FICA/SECA), but not everyone does. Common exceptions include certain state and local government workers covered by their own retirement systems, some federal employees hired before 1984 (covered by CSRS), railroad employees under the Railroad Retirement system, certain student employees of their school, and people with approved religious exemptions or some nonresident aliens with specific visa statuses. Also, Social Security tax stops once earnings exceed the annual taxable maximum.
