| Message | Nope, I want to work as long as I want and need. Same goes for other people. You are trying to force people leaving early thus having nondesirable impact on national debt. |

| Message | Nonsense! People can work as long as they want, this is merely the age that the state recognises retirement and pays pensions. This doesnt mean every 61 year old will be forced to not work, just they have the oppurtunity not to work. And I fail to see your point about 'working as long as you need' - under this scheme you wouldnt need to work, it would be totally optional! |

| Message | 62 is a particularly generous age of retirement. Any lower and the impact, as mentioned by the Libertarians, on the economy would be particularly bad, more pensions for less work. |
