Thisgovernment is attacking pensions partly by stealth and partly by pretending that as we live longer we must be healthy enough to work. There are more elderly in the country, true, but there is also a mini baby boom occurring. With all the immigrants we have in the country the government should be able to have sufficient income to pay decent pensionsfor years to come. Sadly, those in charge are either the typical scrooge minded nasty but well- spokenTories or the weak-kneed Lib Dem cabinet members. Not one of those now in power have any worries about pensions.
The budget proposals are, indeed, outrageous and Cameron can claim no credit for our inflation related increase next month. It is law that pensions rise by the inflation rate in each September. Remember also they have already reduced our increase by giving us the lower inflation figure.
Do not be deceived, the Tories are hell bent on making us all pay to make the rich richer in the puerile
belief that this policy will encourage more entrepreneurship. Among all the mixed motives entrepreneurs have, money is only one. There are even some great altruistic entrpreneurs who strive hard to make life better for their fellow men and find their reward in doing that.
On a micro economic level, the reality of taxation is that one is penalised for earning a little more. We do not get our full tax allowance because our state pension and any income over £24,000 reduces it.
I calculate that together direct and indirect taxes plus council tax reduces my freely disposable income by over 30%. There is no incentive to save the little we can afford.
I can't pay for all theservices I need to keep house, heating and transport going. My only major saving is on food. Thank heavens for Aldi and Liddle.
Isn't it enough that we have not been able to earn money from our savings for years? Isn't it enough that people with high incomes can still get child benefit.?Isn't it an outrage that the really wealthy pay less percentage tax than us? Do we really deserve to be governed by these arrogant know-all public schoolboys? The Labour Party was bad in office but these are ideologically frightening. They must be stopped.

Time to give up 50 years of savings ( for lower & lower interest ) 50 years of NI Contributons
( for £16 week less when the £140 week arrives ) 50 years of mortage repayments ( for the concil when I go into care ) > roll on my welfare benefits . Mum always said if U'r rich > no problem > if your poor retire on the state . My principles have been changed by this horse in the trough culture > mind you as grandma said look after yourself and boll...cks to the rest . Osborne's philosophy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This GOVERMENT should be put in front of a firring and shot Here endeth the the only solution to these
GREEDY,SLEEKET WEE MICE RAT FACED AND THE ONLY HUMAN GARBAGE ON THIS PLANET OUT OUT OUT CALL AN EARLY ELECTION AND GET THEM OUT BEFORE THEY RUIN EVERY ONE IN BRITAIN..

Let the Conservative Party HQ know your feelings on 020 7222 9000.

Its bad enough ordinary pensioners,( not the super rich bankers who caused all the financial mess some now on fat pensions), have to pay any tax at all considering they've spent a working life time paying for their pensions, and tax upon their earnings. Also, ordinary pensioners in all probability will not live to enjoy to the full benefit of their hard earned pensions.

Added to this, most are not employable often due health problems, and especially age discrimination during a recession that is rife in this country which new laws will never fully combat. Even if they could get jobs every job taken denies the unemployed young a start.

So to take away benefit, when they have no chance to offset increasing costs is deplorable, and immoral!

Does the government really think the rich will miss 50p tax, or will not find away around this as they always do, with their financial advisors saving them millions? what a warped sense of morality Osborne has to even think it has to be pensioners to pay for them.

Sadly this Government has once again shown that Pensioners are being downgraded to a position of 2nd Class citizen. About every month there is some debate on the costs of looking after older people either in Hospital or in their own home or in a Residential Home. The Givernment has changed the rules on the levels of pension that can be achieved during a persons working life so the get less when they retire, now they want to lower the tax threshold for new pensioners, where will it end??.
Perhaps this Government will follow the example of a film made in the Seventies where no one was allowed to live longer than, I think it was 40 years old, then they were bumped Off so to allow the beauty of the Civilisation to be preserved. So let's see if this Government will bring in Euthenasia to reduce the burden of the Taxpayer. Of course only those who would not be liable for tax would be released from life. others would be expected to live until their worth was less that their costs. After all a Pensioner in their own home can cost over £7,000 a year to keep, but what about that other group in society who cost money to keep, the guests of HMG, costs of £40,000 for each guest then of course their families have to be accommodated and of course giving allowances on which to live, Would they be bumped off too? Oh no! of course not they have Civil Rights unlike the pensioners who have, being normal law abiding citizens on the most part, have none. So we have a sad democracy, now ruled by the rich for the rich, with the other just making up the numbers.

Fortunately I am reasonably well-off having planned my retirement over many years and been careful with my expenditure so I am not really effected by this budget. Though not impressed by the treatment of pensioners in the budget I have to admit it is fair. And as he points out we must not forget that we are about to get an increase of £250 next month and the steps he is taking to simplify the system over time makes sense and saves money. What we really should not forget also is the central part Mr Balls played by getting us in this mess when the Labour party pumped so much wasted money into public services to get our votes and left the huge debt as their legacy. So when he pontificates in his oafish manner do remember his part in this country's mess.

They said only 2weeks ago that they wanted to take Pensioners out of Income Tax altogether. Now they are commiting us to paying more!

There is a light at the end of the tunnel for us over 65s, we only have about 15years on ave left in this world and then we will be free of this lot.
