Do they all just lose that money when the system goes bankrupt and crashes? Current estimates have it running out of funds by 2033

Perhaps the government will steal from the next generation in order to provide a payout. And then when it comes time to reimburse them, they'll take more from the next generation after that.

The taxes going in are still going to cover about 75% of Social Securities pay outs from current forecasts. So... You'll still get it, just less.

Contrary to popular belief when the trusts dry up, Social Security will still keep going, just less efficiently.

Which still sucks but it's been an open secret that it's not 100% sustainable for most of our lives. So at least we're mentally prepared.

Boomers hate when we give people things they didn't have, but they'll take social security checks just fine

Boomers climbed the ladder and pulled it up with them and then accuse those who come after them of being lazy and entitled. Guess I'm glad I'll more than likely be dead before I get old.

Social Security is currently a "pay it forward" type of deal. We are not paying into our own social security benefits but rather paying directly for the benefits of those that are already retired and collecting. If it runs out of funds (caused by paying out more than it takes in), it only means that those collecting it will have their monthly amounts slashed so that Social Security breaks even until Congress can get their shit together and fix it like it did in 1983.

They don't. Just like tractors and assembly lines don't pay taxes.

I mean, its theoretically an easy fix, but good luck ever raising the income cap on the payroll tax. The Dems dont even scrap all of Republican tax cuts, can you imagine them increasing them?

Don't let them take it away. They keep repeating that it's insolvent because that's what they want you to expect and accept. They made it that way and it's a very easy "problem" to solve. If I don't get social security benefits when I retire, I'm going to be out protesting in the streets. I don't care if my personal investments will cover my retirement. It's my goddamn money and I'm owed it.

How was it designed to help only boomers when the program was created before they were born?

Consider it a forced donation. You should feel great knowing that you are helping others.
