No I’m objecting to retired people paying NI, NI out of my wage is almost as much as income tax these days, as for handing over your house etc, then why should we all bother building up a legacy for our kids and then just hand it over, I would think the 50 odd years of NI contributions should be more than enough, or is it we are again supplementing those who decide not to save for the future or contribute to society. I will be making damn sure my daughter gets every penny of what I’ve worked for. If I have a pension then that can be used to help fund my arse been wiped but my house and savings will be going to her, save for a rainy day so it can be taken off you, bollocks.I object to picking up the tab for old folks non medical care so that they can hand their house on to their kids.
Medical needs should be met no argument.
Social needs should be met by the recipient.
OR
Increase/extend NI to cover a large chunk of it.
Are you objecting to people working over 65 paying NI or not, cos currently they don’t, no matter how much they earn.
What’s the difference between medical and social needs, what do you class as social?
