SS needs to be fixed. A guy with $5 million in his 401k taking let's say $300k a year out gets his full SS payment. Now let's look at someone living on their SS check. If they take a job to try to make ends meet their SS is reduced if they make more than approximately $18k a year working. I saw this happen to my mother.
Same thing with rental income. I know a guy with 300 doors in his rental portfolio and he brags about still getting the full SS benefit.
So, yeah, if you're rich you shouldn't get SS benefits but you should still pay for it.

At what point am I "too rich" to collect on the SS benefit I paid into for 50+ years.
Why should I not get SS benefits when someone who paid the same in taxes but never invested a dime and spent every dollar they made would?

The third example receives SS and income from working. That's the insurance portion of the system protecting from homelessness and starvation. How much insurance should be provided? New car, used car, public transit?
SS is an insurance policy based on the premiums you paid. It's not a system for redistribution of earned income.
