| Bernard - can I politely suggest that you read my last post. But let me draw out a few points. 1. Whether it is fair or not is beside the point more tax will have to be raised to allow the OAPs of the future i.e. us, to receive a basic state pension and tax credits. 2. All employed people will contribute to a pension scheme other than the state scheme. The necessary legislation has been passed by the last Government and the schemes have been rolled out over the last couple of years. 3. Pensioners with higher incomes will have to pay more tax. The burden cannot fall on the employed population alone. |
