I've never counted on getting a dime either, but it can never be abolished because most people expect to get it and a lot of them want to collect as soon as they can, either as disability or regular SSI. There are way more of those folks than the ones who don't plan to collect a dime. And someone has to pay for those folks. It's not like the gov't. is actually investing the money for us to collect later. Every dime I pay in is going to my rich parents every month.
