Arizona GOP Senate Candidate: Privatize Social Security

Blake Masters is an extremist nutjob, but he also reflects the aims of the Koch Brothers.

By Frances Langum — June 27, 2022

You may recall that Blake Masters is one of those candidates that makes the Republican primaries...extra special.

Backed by both Donald Trump and Peter Thiel, for whom he works, Blake Masters has no problem blaming 'Black people' for gun violence. He also thinks the states should be allowed to ban contraception. .

He's got conflicting opinions on gay marriage which might give pause to Peter Thiel, a gay married man:

Now we all have to wait and see how this current right neo-fascist court goes after the EPA, because if they rule to dismantle that agency, they will come after the SS and the CMS agency......

…these jackwagons’ claim they want the government to “run like a business.”

Social Security runs exactly like a private sector insurance company.

So…what is the one agency they’re most hell bent on getting rid of? The one that actually meets their fondest wishes.
