The Ben Shapiro Show
Ben Shapirois retiring in the USA, saying that people who want to end their professional lives at age 65 are crazy… arguing that the limit should be increased.
The conservative talk show host made his case loud and clear on Tuesday.”The Ben Shapiro Show“…to say that the notion that the retirement age should remain at 65 is absolutely absurd – especially since President Biden is running for re-election at age 81.
Ben says he’s actually shocked that the retirement age hasn’t been raised yet – especially considering that people in the US live so much longer these days.
The host goes on to argue that working well past retirement age is a good thing… because, according to him, everyone he knows who retired around age 65 has lost their purpose in life. BS adds that it’s ridiculous that people rely solely on Social Security benefits for the next two decades after retirement instead of work…seemingly suggesting it’s a lazy path to take.
Ben uses his parents as a shining example of people over 65 who have continued working – although it’s unclear exactly how old they might be. The thing is… he thinks people should keep working into old age and says there are plenty of examples of people doing that.
He also claims that people retiring at 65 and relying on SS are not financially sustainable for the country…a right-wing talking point that has been raised by Republicans, etc.
It probably goes without saying… but your opinion here is being dragged to X. Of course, some seem to agree with Ben’s fundamental point… different strokes. 🤷🏽♂️
