That rant would be on the spot except for one small fact: SS recipients collect far more than they put in. SS is an entitlement program that needs to end.

It will take approximately 30 years for me to receive as much SS as I paid in.

Unless you are cooking the figures, I don’t see how that can be true. You are saying that the sum of your previous payments, in nominal value, equals 360 * your current estimated SS payment? Your SS contributions are capped at just over 6% of the first $115k. I think you need to check your math.
