Perhaps you should consider the handouts etc that you all get now. When people my age hit retirement the state pension is likely to be next to nothing hence pretty much everyone paying extra into private or company pensions, in comparison the number of people now collecting state pension and a private pension is a fraction.
Eloquently put and I agree with every word, the most vociferous voices on here are the ones who have no idea of the cost of raising a child! ( and the ones claiming every benefit going!)
