''so proving that our payments are going to fund our future income''
No, it proves that NI payments (just another tax) are linked to how much taxpayers are expected to have to pay to fund your state pension. Crazy system
There needs to be a complete transition away from the current state pension system to one where workers are compelled to pay X% of their salary into a pension pot for their own benefit.
''any low life, not paying in is entitled to the myriad of income streams or relief from paying what the rest of us have to, just be being and breeding here.''
Yes pension credit etc etc etc. People who are able to work but have refused to do so when jobs are available should not receive any benefits from taxpayers.
Expelling the millions from the country that shouldn't be entitled to stay here, would also help greatly.
