So what actually happens when the boomers fully retire and the younger gens can't support social security?

they'll raise the contribution cap. currently you only pay 6.8% on the first $147k of income.

My pet theory is that TPTB are actively hoping that Boomers and a fair chunk of Gen-X just drop before they can start cashing their checks - So that the proverbial can, can be kicked down the road another ~20 years on the backs of Millenials and Zoomers.

This. It’s a ponzi OP. The sooner you realise this the better.

Just wait until the Millennials retire. That will be a true shitshow. The Boomers at least have them to hold the bag.
The Millennials will have the smaller Gen Z to support them and the likely even smaller Generation To Be Determined.

I'm moving to Puerto Rico, tax rate is 4%. If the boomers don't want to give up the scam and stop social security, I say let them work the jobs for the taxes. This country is starting to turn into Puerto Rico but with at least if I move I won't have the life sucked out of my business.

Checked, Heil Hitler. As for your question, the boomers will get nothing. Social Security was a money-funneling service, which will never actually be paid out. Boomers will die penniless and without any support, especially due to the fact that they betrayed their children and descendants. As a result, God punishes them and makes it into a comedy show of demonstrating the end result of sin.
