a perhaps good analogy would be: you and your friend are going out to drink for years, you have always picked up the tab, but last few weeks you are short on cash, and your buddy payed for the drinks...
so while the statement, "your buddy is paying for drinks" is strictly true, it's a bit misleading and almost ridiculous, he has been leeching off you for years, and only last few weeks decided to pickup the tab...

It's not ridiculous at all because that's exactly what is happening. Again, you are admitting the fund is being subsidized by other taxes yet trying to find a way around it with a technicality that does not even apply.
There is no analogy. There is no other explanation. Money comes in, money goes out. That's how taxes work. That's how this tax was designed.
