Disgraceful move to delay age pensions.

Here we go ... lock up your wallets, bank accounts and lifesavings because the scum of Canberra are looking to screw us all again.

And I don't just mean a gentle rogering over a few minor taxes, I'm talking about KY jelly stuff!

So what do the ever-grasping buggas want to do now?

Well how about this ... they are flagging an increase in the aged pension to 70.

Yup, all those who were tottering like a marathon runner towards the pension age - fed up with working for tossers, fed up with being overtaxed, fed up with being regarded as not useful - may have to stumble on for a few more years before getting their just desserts of a quiet time in later years.

"We can't afford it," the tight-fists say.

Well ... "We've bloody paid for it all our working lives," we reply.

And that's the thing. Retirees, in general, have worked themselves hard over 40 or so years. They have already paid taxes to support whatever damn governments want to squander the money on. When they set out on the life of income-earning the expectation was retirement at a certain age. Now the government, or its lackeys, want to shift the goal posts late in the game.

And don't get me started on the official theft of superannuation where there have been more rule changes than paedophile charges against Catholic priests.

Damn, I've got so worked up I've split my colostomy bag. Bastards!
