Bill: Retirement age
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Centralist Party
Status[?]: passed
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: November 4536
Description[?]:
| The Democratic Centralist Party are favoured at decreasing the retirement age. We believe that reducing the retirement age will induce more people to work harder and contribute more into society. We believe by decreasing the retirement age that minimum wage laws are set far above the poverty line for people to invest in an affordable pension for the time of retirement. We want all people of society to be supported and treated equally with rights furthering indefinitely. We will not leave a burden on Old Age Pensioners and assure priority and protection for their rights. |

| Message | A private pension is worthless unless you have wealth to begin with. The whole point of pension policy is that it ought to be public. Please consider real change on this issue. Still, we vote yes. |

| Message | I agree with your point of view. I am thinking of the rights of a pensioner so they don’t get taxed their pension. We believe that a private pension will be a tax-relief on pensioners. This way pensioners will keep 100% of their private pension whereas a public pensions will have to tax pensioners. So maybe in the future this may be reconsidered but at the moment no. This is something we cannot do yet. |
