Title: Attack on Pensions
Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on December 11, 2014, 07:04:27 pm
ok guys, you know that I don't normally get involved with politics, but people's pensions are being attacked, and my wife (who is very involved in politics) set up a petition to fight this.  If you agree with the petition, please sign it, if not, thank you for your consideration.

Here's a link dealing with said issue to put it into perspective. Pension reform is a tough topic to talk about, mostly because it's one of those issues that are convincing on both sides of the debate.
