En zolang de gewone mens zich passief blijft opstellen blijven de rijken de lakens uitdelen. De minderheid bepaalt nu wat de meerderheid moet doen, hoe men moet leven en wanneer men moet sterven.
'World’s Richest Man Calls For Increasing Retirement Age To 70
Published: Thursday 14 June 2012
“Raising the retirement age from 65 to 70
is also a favorite suggestion of American conservatives, who cite the
same reasons: an increased life expectancy and changing workforce”
Mexican
telecom mogul Carlos Slim, who is the world’s richest manwith a fortune
of $65 billion, believes that struggling countries need to raise their retirement age to 70 in order to help fix their finances:
In fact, while life expectancy has gone up substantially for richer, white men, low-income workers have not seen the same gains. Low-income minority women have actually seen their life expectancy decrease in recent years. As the Center for Economic and Policy Research put it, “there has been a sharp rise in inequality in life expectancy by income over the last three decades that mirrors the growth in inequality in income.”
If current trends in inequality continue in the U.S., raising the retirement age to 70 would result in those born after 1973 having a shorter retirement than those born in 1912.'

Countries should have people work until they are older to reflect longer life expectancy rates, Slim reportedly said…Slim added the current retirement age was established “when jobs were more physical and people died at 60, but now we live until 85 or 90.”Raising the retirement age from 65 to 70 is also a favorite suggestion of American conservatives, who cite the same reasons: an increased life expectancy and changing workforce. But at least in America, it’s not true that life expectancy is increasing for everybody.
El Universal reported one of the world’s savviest businessmen as saying: “We live in the knowledge society, so knowledge and experience should be valued. This is why a person’s work life could be increased.”

Donderdagavond [gisteren] bleek dat het bedrijf van de Mexicaanse zakenman Carlos Slim inmiddels bijna 21 procent van de aandelen KPN bezit. Een dag eerder meldde het nog een belang van 8,7 procent. América Móvil bracht eind mei een bod uit van 8 euro per aandeel op 27,7 procent van KPN.
