| Message | By cutting 10 years from their pension-plans you greatly reduce the monthly outcome of money for our senior citizen, would they also be able and allowed to work while being paid by the state? We think that the retirement age might be a little high but 35 years of contribution is a good deed done towards the society but we feel that is isn't enough, we will vote against this proposal. |

| Message | This bill does not force retirement at 55, rather permits it. In addition citizens have access to a private program for addition income after retirement. |

| Message | I think retirement should be at 30 years of labor or slightly less , but this is better than nothing. |

| Message | If need be we will consider changes to this in either aid level, age, or funding source as needed. Currently we are quite solvent and our citizens should receive some benefits for their work in our economy. |
