BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): It provides historic tax relief for Social Security recipients, slashes seniors — taxes on senior Social Security benefits.
Social Security, another just obscenely broken program. What a complete fraudulent program Social Security is. They garnish all of our wages, then they spend all that — none of it goes to Social Security. It's a complete and total looting of the productive class to supplement the unproductive class, to create total fealty to the Democrat Party, and to scare the life out of seniors every four years in elections.
Social Security is completely fraudulent. It should be privatized. They should destroy that entire program.
It is — I mean, Social Security is is the nexus of waste, fraud, and abuse. There's no money in Social Security. None. Every penny that goes in there gets immediately vaporized by USAID programs or whatever — putting transgender flags on every government building.
Nothing should piss you off more than the way that Social Security is managed.
But just on its face, taxing the money that was already stolen from boomers, right? So they're the ones receiving the majority of Social Security right now. So they paid in for their entire working life. It's been 50 years, and then you you have the insult to tax that money. So you stole that money from them. If they had invested that money in the market in the 70s, it'd be worth millions upon millions. If you just put it directly into the S&P 500 or the DOW or the NASDAQ, if you just shoved it in there into just a money market, that money would have 10 x or 20 x. Now you're getting like pennies out of Social Security and then you insult them by taxing the Social Security that you already stole from them with no return. Yeah. It's total garbage. And also it makes no sense, right, when it comes to retirement ages and how long people are living these days. So Social Security is just a broken trash system. It needs to be gone and done away with. I firmly believe it.
