Pensions are a fundamentally stupid system? Great, I can get behind that. So is employer-supplied health care. Let's replace them both with a real national pension system and a real national health care system. You're right, people shouldn't have to depend on an employer for retirement (or health care)--that should be up to our government to provide us. As for "violence," I have no idea what you're talking about, unless you're actually suggesting that the pensioners are wheeling their walkers up to you and shaking you down. Remember, taxation isn't violence.
