Conservative pundit says retirement 'is a stupid idea.' I agree. Let us work until we die.

[Dulcinea]

(USA Today) Whether it’s a conservative pundit saying retirement “is a stupid idea” or GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump talking about cutting Medicare and Social Security, one thing is clear: Republicans rightly recognize that all us Americans would be better off if we worked until we’re dead.

I strongly support this stance and have long planned to continue working until my last breath, collapsing face-first onto a laptop as my ancient carcass succumbs to the ravages of time.

Noted podcaster and conservative thought leader Ben Shapiro said on his show Tuesday, “It's insane that we haven't raised the retirement age in the United States.”

He continued: “No one in the United States should be retiring at 65 years old. Frankly, I think retirement itself is a stupid idea unless you have some sort of health problem. Everybody that I know who is elderly, who has retired, is dead within five years.”

3. A witless skidmark...

... like the pathologically malicious Ben Shapiro, has NO business arbitrarily deciding the fate of people like me. I'm on the shady side of 76, but still working full-time; a state of being that is only partially by choice. The principal driver is necessity; one cannot survive on Social Security. Here's where I scream at Republicans from the rooftops: SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT AN ENTITLEMENT, YOU LYING, THIEVING FUCKS!

It is deferred wages held in trust. It is YOUR money, not the government's. And filth like Florida's Rick Scott (R)* want to rip you off and hand your hard-earned money to Wall Street snakes so they can squander it as they see fit, and leave you destitute.

* Google that crooked motherfucker's resumé! It'll make your blood boil.

4. If I can live my life working for the cause of making a rich person even richer, I will die happy.

The cause is more important than my own interests, my own family, my own health.
