Cutting benefits to seniors is always Fox News' solution.
By John Amato May 30, 2025
On Maria Bartiromo's FOX Business program, a panel of very wealthy people wants to raise the retirement age of the working class to be eligible for Social Security benefits because they would never retire at 62.
In a very bizarre discussion, Bartiromo's panel of the rich lied throughout this segment about the entirety of Social Security recipients in order to justify taking benefits away from seniors instead of raising taxes on those who can afford it.
BARTIROMO: In terms of Social Security, 47% of Republicans say they wanna reduce benefits for future retirees. Seventy-three percent of Democrats, though, prefer raising taxes instead. Todd Piro, your reaction?

(508 posts)Just get rid of retirement all together? Since when do peasants need or deserve retirement? They didn't get it in the first dark ages. Why should they get it in the second dark ages?
