Denmark is set to have the highest retirement age in Europe after its parliament adopted a law raising it to 70 by 2040.
The retirement age at 70 will apply to all people born after 31 December 1970.
At the same time, politicians here in Denmark can retire at 60! Those fuckers get free housing, free transport, free food, AND after-pay. “Rules for thee, not for me!”
If only they’d also be forced to retire at 60. Instead they stay in politics and continue to make decisions based on outdated knowledge and ideals.
If they didn’t get all those benefits everyone might be able to retire earlier.
Yes, they’re going to die sooner anyway. Forced retirement at 60 for politicians would be perfect.
They should be bound by the same rules as the rest of us.
