Some Democrats think positively of Chris Christie because he's attacking Donald Trump, but he's as dangerous on abortion, guns and Social Security as right-wing Republicans.
Christie knows damn well that the 50 states will never come together to create a consensus about abortion — there will always be some legislatures and governors that want to restrict women’s rights, not provide for them. Face the facts: He’s firmly in the anti-abortion camp.
“We don’t need to look at raising taxes,” Christie said. “We’ve got plenty of taxes right now in this country.” “Do the extraordinarily wealthy need to collect Social Security?” he asked. “Do we really need to have Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk collecting Social Security, and others that are very, very wealthy?”
The main reason is that there aren’t very many of them. Only 5,148 households with income over $10 million collected Social Security in 2020, the IRS says. Their benefits totaled about $223.2 million. That’s less than two hundreths of a percent of the $1.24 trillion in annual benefits Social Security pays out.
Speaking of his son who will turn 30 this year, Christie said, “If he can’t figure out how to plan for that over the course of the next 35 years, he’s got bigger problems than worrying about what his Social Security benefits are going to be.”
