Well said. My assertions were purely based on the business side, the workers are at least working, so they must get paid. The pensioners aren't, if there was no pension in the first place, there won't be pensioners.When the economy is struggling I would accept the fact that the government will forget the pensioners for a while. The workers would only work with the pay so if you stop paying them most likely they will also stop working. A pensioner who doesn't receive his pension will only complain but just that and nothing more.
