We need to harness that energy into something that is beneficial for society, This age group, and fit active older people should be doing something that is good for society eg the rest of us. This is not Conservative Dogma it was actual Marx whos said something to the effect of:
'From each according to his ability to each according to their need' Marx, Communism and Real Labour never advocated that sections of society, who were fit and healthy, should sit on their backsides all day doing nothing but causing trouble and problems, whilst the rest of us slogged our guts out to keep them. Personally I am sick of huge tax bills that necessitate me working 7 days a week so some kid can doss around all day doing sod all.
Forget Conservative theology lets get back to Ideology that understood how people really function and make the world a fairer more equal place. If we have to do this through the Conservative party then unfortunately, so be it

I think this partly describes why I am a Conservative. I don't have any ideology to follow, so I'm quite happy to agree with whatever is the
right thing, no matter which side of the political spectrum that comes from.
Very good post, I hadn't thought of it from a Marxist perspective.
