| Message | There is no evidence to state that the current retirement age is a drain on our economy. Our economy is healthy, and it is closer to "perfect" than many economies would hope to be. |

| Message | Where do you see/hear that? We simply said there is no evidence to state that the current law is a drain on the economy. Persons are able to work as soon as they wish, but we believe it is better if we allow them to stop at 60 instead of 65. Forcing them to work 5 more years, before getting their pensions, is rather harsh. |
