Flemming v. Nestor (1960)

You actually have NO right to Social Security.

I believe before they are done they will seize, or at least attempt to seize our private pensions (401) to fund additional govt programs

As for a civil war, I also believe He would order the Army to mow down the opposition, just like the Chinese did in the square. They are dangerous, fanatical, entitled, and in power.

WOW! Had not heard of this case.
Flemming v. Nestor (1960)
Nestor challenged this Section after he was denied Social Security payments as a deported member of the Communist Party. He argued that a contract existed between himself and the United States government, since he had paid into the system for 19 years.
Nestor, an alien, became eligible for Social Security payments in 1955. In July 1956 he was deported for having been a member of the Communist Party from 1933 to 1939. Section 202(n) of the Social Security Act provided for the termination of Social Security payments when an alien is deported for being a member of the Communist Party.
