What "I want" is irrelevant.

The government is going to "default" on SS eventually,
whether I "want it to" or not.
It is simple arithmetic.

Please show me the "contractual agreement" between
the government and the citizens who paid SS taxes?
You can't, because there is no such agreement.
SS taxes are (at any point in time) whatever the
government says they are.
Likewise, SS benefits are (at any point in time)
whatever the government says they are.
