"Well, it seems a Republican in Montana, millionaire Greg Gianforte who’s likely going to run for governor in 2016 against Democrat Gov. Steve Bullock, not only believes in the story of Noah’s ark – but he’s using Noah as an example for why Americans don’t need Social Security.

“There’s nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it’s been an accepted concept in our culture today,” Gianforte said back in February. “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.”

Comedy at its finest. Sweet Jesus riding a bike juggling fish (now my favorite phrase).
