We ought to have the same sort of thing over here. We have a tax called
"National Insurance" which pays for our pensions, health service, etc.
Or claims to, at any rate.
What we and you probably ought to have is a genuine National Insurance, which
quite openly sets out only to provide the basics, and against which you can
claim the cost of any private provision you make.
We actually have that with regards to our pensions - if you opt out of the state
system, the private scheme must guarantee to provide equivalent cover and the
money that would have gone to the state goes to them instead.
But now we're bringing in a stupid enforced private scheme. Given the mess the
bankers have made of the financial system so far, pumping even more money their
way via forced saving is daft !!!
Cheers,
