Rest assured we are the rich and they don't think you are paying your fair share, so at the very least you shouldn't get any Social Security. Doesn't matter that you (and your employers) have been forced to pay into for your entire lifetimeou , you have been responsible and saved well for your retirement outside of Social Security and the government has been spending the Social Security Trustfund for generations, so you will just have to do without, Sorry!
