As usual, you are not correct. I should be past surprise that you boomers lived your entire lives without bothering to learn anything about how these government programs work, but it still gets me.

Anyway, SS is funded via a tax. You have no contractual right to what you paid in because of that, and the money is not protected by the 5th Amendment. What you have is entitlement to benefits under the program if you qualify which you cannot be denied without Due Process.
They took that money from of every pay check. I was entitled to it then, in compensation for work performed. Still am, since I never recived the full amount of payment for that work at the time, no matter how you or anybody else tries to spin it.
