Claire, I fail to see how anyone is being penalised. The fact is that someone who earnt a low income but receives a full state pension for say 30 years will be getting out far, far more than they put in. Pensions are a huge slug of govnt spending and the bill just keeps going up. I am not defending any particular govnt and of course these is waste, but also constant efforts to improve efficiency. Again, compared to many other vulnerable grops, pensioners have emerged so far unscathed from asuterity with the real value of the state pension protected. Lets also not forget its not govnts who actually pay for anything, its taxpayers who have to fund all these things. |
