agreed... look, I am 60 and I’m one of those that will never be able to retire... never.... and I’m not crying about it, I’m more than willing to keep working. in fact, I think that would be best thing for me anyway.. that is to say, it’s good to keep occupied and have a task with responsibilities... most the retired folks I see, (with exceptions of course ) are 24/7 TV watchers. they get lazy, they lose focus, they begin to fade away....
Raise the retirement age to 71 to 73... that seems reasonable, considering modern healthcare advances.
and I’ll be d*amned if I’m going to pay taxes for someone who worked for the gov, to have a nice cozy retirement.. and that goes for teachers, etc... no exceptions...
but who am I kidding... of course that will happen... some of us are “more equal than others”.... sheesh Orwell had it figured out so long ago...
RE: Raise the retirement age to 71 to 73... that seems reasonable,
Two questions...
Let’s say you work for a company ( as most Americans do )...
1) Will companies continue to employ you when you’re 65 or older?
2) If (God forbid) you get laid off, is it easy to find a job at 65 or older?
I really don’t understand why you are annoyed with a government worker who did their end of the bargin. Some of you act like you were forced to go into the occupation you hold. I hardly think it is fair to bash a government worker who made a different choice then you did. I imagine you hate the billionaires too. Actually I believe some o f you do...Zuckerburg and gates make the green with envy folks scream around here.
