It will never be scrapped.
The surest way for a politician to get beat out of office is to have even the slightest negative comment about SS.
You might very well see some young kids taking potshots at old geezers, or vice versa, but the poli's won't risk any meaningful reform.
And being 50 myself, I'm not sure which side I should be on.
I can understand your uncertainty. You have probably spent 30 years being FORCED to pay into a system that should have been voluntary in the first place. If you were force fed fried food for 30 years, and then someone said, no more fried food because it will kill you, you might fight that as well. Or, say tobacco. An industry that at one time was basically endorsed by our government through subsidies, and probably still is, and other incentives, now is being penalized by the Feds. The things we think are good today, may turn out bad in the long run. Much policy and legislation is written and passed with little foresight, or even hindsight. This is something that has always bothered me.
