I'm all for old folks having to sell tier home to fund social care. Where does it say that you should get a place in an OAP home and still get to keep your £300,000 house to hand over to the kids when you snuff it.

Why should someone who has clearly worked all their life and saved and invested have to pay for the same treatment and care that is being given free to someone who has spent their entire life on benefits?Originally posted by Sockpuppet View PostI am not qualified to give the above advice!

Thus, I have absolutely no further incentive to carry on working at this point, which surely is bad for an economy that relies on people paying taxes.

The Government should be encouraging people to become self sufficient. It should allow people to opt out of NI and invest their money how ever they see fit. Of course the flip side of this is that you will have to pay when you want to use the doctors.
Then again, encouraging people to look after themselves means that there will be less people paying NI and this Government needs all the coin it can bludgeon out of us!

That's a simple one: do those who have money pay for themselves and for those who do not have money, or can they just pay for themselves and to hell with the rest? The answer so far in our society is no choice, the first option only, the only discussion is how much and how.Originally posted by Mailman View Post
If you like the other choice, I fear you will have to look elsewhere. Where, I wonder?Comment
