It goes to 22% in 20 years for just SS/Medicare. But don't forget Medicaid, of which a significant portion goes to the elderly and is likely to increase, and can also be funded by additional state taxes. Californians especially are f*ed. I'm not throwing out a vetted number, but given all the evidence 30% doesn't seem unrealistic.
