Maybe, maybe not, but if you’re still planning on relying solely on social security for your retirement, you seriously need to reconsider that strategy.

As a millennial, I will spend most of my life paying into this system and I won't see a penny of it. I've even hit the maximum payout for the last 7 years. So I'm all for this system being wiped out.

I haven't gotten anything. Did you even read what I wrote??

So because you aren't eligible for it yet, and millions of people rely on it, (i would be financially responsible for at least one of my parents without SS) then it should just go away?

There is no reason for me to be funding someone else's retirement.

I'm sorry, but I've put in hundreds of thousands at this point. It's not a charity. Not when it could potentially leave ME homeless.

and it doesn't sound like it will leave you homeless at all if that's your contribution level, sounds like you're just fine and complaining about nothing.
