[kj] OT: December in Paris

[sade1]

There's enough money for everyone to retire at 50 so why in fuck they wanna 
raise it.. well, I hope those french pleebs win out. Seriously. And besides, 
that whole 'raising the retirement age' is also - morbidly - a gamble that 

 - a. more people than usual will die before being able to collect (working 
longer means the statistical chance you may die before retiring), 

 - b. that those who do die (before/after retiring) will be increasingly of the 
Poor or poorer (because they work either the more dangerous gigs, and the harder 
jobs that wear you down worse), and 

 - c. that those that do collect retirement benefits will collect for less years 
than current projections foresee. a+b+c = (poor-$$$)/Rich.
 
Whatever flag they hide under, they're A-holes, sick fuckers, gambling 
on rubbing people down and out, especially if they're of the lower classes. 
 
Not quite true--62 would be the age to receive partial benefits. Full retirement 
benefits would still be age 67. But with the current attack by the rich agaisnt 

ordinary working people, the increased productivity of workers accompanied by 
lower pay and reduced benefits and longer hours, and the flow of wealth
rushing from the poor/middle class to the rich, fewer will probably make it to 
67 anyway. And with ignorant comments like yours, it seems like working people
are blaming each other, rather than the bankers/businessmen elite that are 
robbing us blind (legal robbery, that is) while the rich laugh all the way to 
the bank.

It's all the Same Shit Obama and Co. are gonna do here (after these elections, 
of course) with Social Security retirement benefits. The commission for that is 
already in place and openly announced, with 2 rich mofo's heading it. 


Thieves the lot of them, liars, murderers, hypocrites, bastards; laughter...
