Greg Gianforte believes that there should be no retirement because...the bible.
Quote:There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today," he said. "Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach.' It doesn't say that anywhere."
"The example I think of is Noah," he continued. "How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn't like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn't hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical."
He is considering running for office in Montana
Funny, I'm pretty sure the bible says that, after six days of creating shit, god took a rest. Since he hasn't created shit since then, the "rest" sure sounds like retirement to me. Mmm...god retired...that would explain a lot.
