So folks pay until everything they have is gone, then they might get help? Not a society I want.
Remember "Plan Steve to save Medicare and Social Security"? The essence of the plan is only people too broken up and feeble for the "JCs" to extract any more work from should be allowed to retire. Anyone who is able bodied does not receive an SS pension, regardless of age, and able bodied people are required to continue working to receive Medicare coverage, regardless of age.
The right wing nutters have been reading my posts again!
From the net sifter, because I don't find a link that summarized Shapiro's statements:
Yes, Ben Shapiro has stated that "no one in the United States should be retiring at age 65," viewing retirement as generally "stupid" unless due to health issues, arguing it's fiscally unsustainable for Social Security to support decades of retirement and suggesting people should work longer, reflecting conservative views on re-engineering entitlement programs
.
Key Points from Shapiro's Stance:
Retirement is "Stupid": He believes that working until 65 and then stopping is a flawed concept, especially given increasing lifespans.
Fiscally Unsustainable: Shapiro argues it's not financially feasible for Social Security to pay benefits for 20+ years after a 45-year career.
Health-Dependent: He suggests that significant retirement should only occur if someone has a health problem, not as a standard life stage.
Work Longer: His position aligns with efforts to adjust retirement ages to ensure program solvency, encouraging people to work well past traditional retirement age.
