Baby Boomers Double Standards
Queensland's LNP Shadow minister David Gibson recently said "It never ceases to amaze me when I listen to the baby boomers who are incredibly selfish in expecting that other generations will pay for their retirement". Well David, when we 'baby boomers' started work there was no superannuation and we started work on the promise that our taxes would pay for a pension when we retired. It was only in the later years that super became available, for most of my working life superannuation was only available to management and often only senior management. David Gibson if you are so keen not to be selfish, how about you start by paying back all the contributions the government has made to your super that exceed the standard 9%. Next, how about you refuse to draw a pension until you reach 67. Double Standards it's all we ever get from politicians with their noses in the trough. When I'm Emperor politicians will be paraded through the streets twice a year for the public to throw rotten fruit at them.
