Tho withholding from those rich boomers has been propping up the system.

Do you really think that the government just confiscate their withholdings?

The reality is, it already has.

Read Flemming v Nestor.

"To engraft upon the Social Security system a concept of "accrued property rights" would deprive it of the flexibility and boldness in adjustment to ever-changing conditions which it demands. ...We must conclude that a person covered by the Act has not such a right in benefit payments as would make every defeasance of "accrued" interests violative of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment."
