Pensioner incomes 'outstrip those of working families'

Typical pensioner incomes after housing costs now outstrip those of working-age people, a new report suggests.
The Resolution Foundations also says pensioners are more likely than their predecessors to be working, own a home and have generous private pensions.
The think tank says growth in pensioner incomes has been coupled with weak income growth for working-age people.

And yet they still want everyone else to pay for their massive health care needs.

What a joke.

I suppose a lot depends on your GP mine is very good, I went with problems with my stomach the first thing GP did was to book a endoscopy which I had within a month, fortunately in didn't show anything serious. It shouldn't vary by area and that needs to be improved.

A month would've looked like a long wait if it had been stomach cancer.

If pensioner incomes are outstripping those of working people they'll probably be paying more tax than them too.

I suggest you have a look at words four, five and six in the first sentence.

Then have a little think.

I've had a little think. If taxes have to be raised to increase NHS spending they should be levied on those aged 45 plus. They didn't pay for young peoples university expensives so the intergenerational contract is broken. Pay your own health care fees grandad.

But 95% of those didn't go to university and in real terms the UK spends 5x as much now on education than it did in the 60s.

Wow.
Age specific taxation. Sounds like a plan.
