Resignation will not happen, except for the few who are getting out now to become lobbyists and not run afoul of a statute set to become effective. So, this November is a good time to hold their feet to the fire or vote in term limits. Can them all. Fire the incumbents who haven't held up their end and voted for the country and its citizens over self-aggrandizement.
All 435 House districts and 33 Senate seats are up for election. Never a better time than now!

Then they ought to stop calling it a kind of retirment system, and just call it what it is - income redistribution. If the people who have paid into SS for years, die before receiving much, if any, benefit, then it can hardly be called “social security”.
It’s just a colossal ripoff, like every other government program.

It was never a retirement system. In the beginning it was just “a little to help” if you happened to live longer than most people.
Funny how “a little to help” now costs me almost as much in taxes as my income taxe. And medicare is closing fast. And neither has the tax deductions of the regular income tax.
There will probably be a tax revolt at some time. When? I dunno. But I strongly believe it will happen.

(I'm confused. I mean, I THINK I am, but I'm not sure. But I could be wrong about that.)
