https://www.ft.com/content/d419bd2d-a6ba-44a5-a93a-1276f3e5d... This is the article I was thinking of. I don't think we can pretend that pensions are not a problem, and not a massive strain on government budgets. Incomes of pensioners have increased a lot more than incomes of working-age people, and French over 65 earn more than French working-age (slightly different claim than I made). > What do you want, when you stress that retired people earn too much I want to pay less into unsustainable pension system and to be able to save for my own future instead. I would love more of Europe to get a system similar to Australia's superannuation system. |

Indeed we can't. Now, you have to prove that the alternatives wouldn't be worse. And you have to prove that they are unsustainable as is.
> I want to [...] be able to save for my own future instead.
No thanks. But I suspect our disagreement here comes from having very different perspectives.
