Bill: Retirement
Details
Submitted by[?]: TW@
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2703
Description[?]:
| The TW@ party believes that to have a retirement age of 75 is too old. Before this age many adults are becoming unable to work, and struggling, but feel that they must continue working until the reach the age of 75 to recieve a full pension. Dropping this age would give these people to relax in the last years of their lives, and to achieve goals (such as traveling to certain countires, or new hobbies) while they still can. They have worked for the past 50 (give or take a few) years, and should be able to retire at no less than 70, but still given the choice to continue working if they so choose |

From | Free thinking Party | To | Debating the Retirement | | Message | yes it has nothing to do with communism... it is merely forcing people to work until they die in some cases... (male death age can be around 74 average in many countries) |
