From the excellent Bloomberg article Les just linked:

Of course, the Supreme Court, in two important cases --
Helvering v. Davis (1937) and Flemming v. Nestor (1960) -- said that there is no legal right to social security. Instead, a worker's retirement security is ``entirely dependent on the political decisions of the president and Congress,'' writes Charles E. Rounds Jr., professor of law at Suffolk University in Boston, in ``Property Rights: The Hidden Issue of Social Security Reform,'' published by the Cato Project on Social Security Privatization. ``Paying social security taxes does not give rise to any contractual right to Social Security benefits.''

Let e-bill and all hear!
