Letter from HMRC about 2013/14 "contribution"

OK right, I have received a letter from HMRC to explain how my 2013/14 tax deductions were used.
It rubs me up the wrong way to be shown how much of my tax is being used to support certain things for example pensioners when I have been denied a pension until I am 66 yrs old despite having worked my cogs off from age 16 to 60.
Can I opt out of having this (effing annoying) propaganda sent to me at further expense to myself (tax payer)??

Yes - use your democratic right to vote for an MP who would agree with you on this matter.0

Don't forget the NHS staff pensions which are bundled up in the health category and the pensioner benefits hidden in welfare0

If you mean, can you not receive these tax summaries in future years, then yes, the simpliest way is to send it back, with a note saying not to send them in the future and you'll be put on a no mailing list for this correspondence.
If you want to change where your money goes, speak to your MP !He's not an accountant - he's a charlatan0 -

Don't complain when the next round of austerity strikes. Increases in the State Pension cannot remain ring fenced indefinately either.0 -
