Because there’s no link between the amount you pay in and the amount you receive. Not to mention the fact it also pays for various other benefits which are not related to pensions whatsoever. Any more stupid questions or are you done? All the old tories on the board raging that millionaires might not get £12k a year. I f**king hate boomers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophia Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 30 minutes ago, Bonksy+HisChristianParade said: Yeah, it’s still a tax and isn’t ’paying into a pension’. I think it might have been this that misled me. Are you somehow overwrought? If so I wish you peace and contentment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 The comments section on here is batshit crazy. Apparently everything is the fault of the ‘workshy’. If only we’d known. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv2gxkln5elo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus all the voters who are about to hit retirement age. Part of the sales pitch for the welfare state was the universality of it. Higher earners do pay more in (although it stops being progressive in contributions after a point) but don't get more out. Overall, despite not being means tested national insurance is a net transfer from high to low earners already. If you want to make it less universal, you risk losing the buy in that most people generally feel, that they also generally have for free healthcare. Imagine using "boomer" as an insult. Minter for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minter for you. I didn’t use it as an insult, I used it as a descriptor. You chose to take it as an insult, that’s up to you. Sorry for not including the prefix ‘baby’ to describe the generation of people I was referring to - seems to have upset a few *baby* boomers sadly. At no point have I said it is a realistic option. Obviously it would be highly unpopular amongst the ‘I’m alright Jack’ generation, who turn out in their droves every election to vote for the Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
