ps , the oldies who built NZ deserve the it ...

[Banditbandit]

Yes ... and these are the people we trust with our money - the "professionals" in the system ... who supposedly know what they are doing (NOT!)

I just might have to agree with you ...

Bit vague, dude. It was looking like nobody recognised the fact that those eligable for pensions are mostly those responsible for supplying the means for paying it.

Yes, yes, I know NZ pensions supposedly aren't "fully funded" like ACC is supposed to be. I simply dissagree, anyone who's paid income tax throughout their working lives has contributed several hundred thousand dollars in todays money, and in the absence of any sensible official policy to the contrary I deem some significant portion of that to have been invested on their behalf, reasonable returns on which to be dispursed as of their 65th birthday until their death and labeled "pension".

ACC , I assume , like the pension fund used the stock market and actually made a profit FROM investment , ACC did rather well

The americans have put pressure on dear old NZ to become more like them ...( look how that ended up)

I wish some in the know , media , government would just tell the fkers to take a running jump

one thing though , blasted oldies are living a bit too long these days ... costing money they does ..

Why cant we blame the oldies , I mean they smell funny and dress like soo,, 1956 ..and the music , omg the music ( if they can hear it )
