So...Republicans...what will you do about the right-wing militias planning on attacking Mosques and Muslims?

No and it really is nothing to do with the rich or poor. It is simply that the state cannot afford to continue paying public servants pensions as it currently stands. Also why should the public sector have a different deal than the private sector.

Who in the private sector can retire at 55/60 years of age on an index linked pension? Finally just remember that it is the private sector that funds it all. The public sector is non productive as far as finance is concerned.

Public sector need to get real and accept that the current stater of play has to change. The past labour government allowed the public sector to grow without any controls and then did not have the guts to do anything about it when they realised the problem.

I can understand the argument, but as usual the Unions ignore reality. My son, who works for an utility company, has calculated (using an online facility) that when he retires a nurse with like service, salary, pension contributions (even at the increased rate) and employers contributions will receive TWICE the pension he can expect. Public sector workers are paid by the taxpayer in employment and in retirement.

Why should they expect the taxpayer to fund a retirement lifestyle which they (the taxpayer) cannot afford for themselves. It seems that something for nothing is a way of life!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
