| Message | Our party originally supported the raising of the retirement age to 70. People are living well into their 80's, 90's, and beyond, and are remaining healthy in their old age. Allowing people to work until age 70 will increase the labor pool, allow employers to benefit from the experience of senior employees, and provide people with the satisfaction of more years of earned income and productive work. After retiring at age 70, workers can still enjoy decades of well-earned lesiure. As for the public pension system, we would like to see a mandatory national pension system but it is not a high priority. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
