Libertarian

Agree

Yes

Libertarians generally advocate for lower taxes and greater financial freedom for individuals. They believe in minimizing government intervention in personal finances, which could extend to the belief that Social Security benefits, being a return on what individuals have already paid into the system, should not be taxed again. However, the score is not higher because some libertarians might argue that the entire Social Security system should be reformed or privatized, rather than adjusting the tax policy around it.

Disagree

No

Most libertarians would disagree with this statement because it implies acceptance and continuation of the current Social Security system, which many view as financially unsustainable and an overreach of government power. They typically advocate for reducing government involvement in personal finances, including the taxation system. Taxing Social Security benefits can be seen as a form of double taxation, which libertarians generally oppose. However, the disagreement is not stronger because some libertarians might see the taxation of benefits as a necessary evil in the short term, as part of a strategy to phase out or reform the current Social Security system.
