Why do republicans think social security benefits should be reduced?

They don't. They, and other fiscal responsibly people, thinks that the annual increase that retirees get should closely match the increases that American wage earner gets. Other wise, the percent of wages of American workers will have to go up to pay the retirees, or the retirement fund will go broke.
Like the President says, it's simple math.
