Kirk: Cut Social Security, Retirement Is Not “Biblical”

“I’m going to say something very provocative. I’m not a fan of retirement. I don’t think retirement is biblical. I think that if you retire, you should always be doing something not to say that you have to, you can’t slow down, but you should be helping people, part-time work.

“You should be helping with the grandkids, volunteering. I do not like the over-emphasis on a retirement-based society. I don’t. I think there is so much talent that is not being used.

“In fact, I talk to senior citizens. They say, Charlie, after I officially retired, I went back and I was a part-time substitute teacher, counselor at the local church. And so, I challenge this idea of retirement altogether. People are living longer.

“But you say Charlie, I’m just gonna retire and I’m just gonna go golf. I think, what a waste of the gifts that God has given you. What a waste of the wisdom that you have been given just to – kind of just watch TV and to golf.

“So, we take money from people who need it the most, young families in their twenties and thirties, and give it to those who need it the least.” -Charlie Kirk, calling for cuts to Social Security.
