It's an interesting argument, but the deal is with the state. That's like saying I never agreed to the laws that passed before I could vote, so they shouldn't apply to me.
It's tough, though, I agree - who bears the brunt of the pain? At the same time, new workers can reject a contract's terms by not accepting a job. Old workers have no options.
- fargolime 12y agoWhen the law takes away your retirement to provide a cushy retirement to the older generation, it shouldn't apply. Laws that are blatantly unfair to you, that you didn't agree to, shouldn't apply to you. Most pensioners would do fine on half their pension. After all, the ones their age who don't have a pension are surviving on one-fourth or less the amount. The pensioners could keep the condo but forgo the cruises.
