Hey BD, do you get a government funded pension in Britain? We have to pay into a Social Security fund to get a retirement check every month. We also can setup a fund for this purpose by paying into it on our own. How is retirement setup in Britain?
BD, pick up the phone

In other words, is Britain's government as f***ed up as the US's government?
I don't normally monitor this group, Dave Eagle! You are lucky to catch me!
Yes, I *DO* get a pension from the UK government - well actually, TWO pensions! One as an ordinary citizen and another as a 'veteran' (ex-Royal Navy)
I call BS! You monitor any and all newsgroups you think might be one that users you stalk may post in.
BTW, if you get tired of people calling you a stalker I have a solution... just stop stalking!
Did you pay into these pensions out of your pocket?
True. I already got my credits. :) I won't actually live long enough to collect, but, in the highly unlikely! event I did, and SS wasn't bankrupt by then, I'd be okay.
Good question.
Yes!

You are wrong, RonNNN
Happy Easter to you and your family.
A Gentleman's response, Dave. ^^
Would this be an example of socialism, Dave?
No, the Navy one was paid by the Navy, IOW, by the tax payer. BD didn't pay a cent, or penis, or whatever the currency is there.
No, under socialism he would be entitled to ONE public pension, the same as everyone else. Maybe you should enquire, I don't think anyone is entitled to TWO public pensions. []'s
Thanks, Eagle. :-)
The States must be a communist-socialist country then. Party members suckling on the States's teats while 30% of the workers are below the hunger line ? OMG. What happened to capitalism ? []'s
PS I know about the one you get for mental issues and your deceased mom's pension you cash in. That's not called 2 pensions, that's called fraud.

No, not really. It's just an extension of extra Income Tax but under another name.

For the record .... is this the truth?
Liar.
That's what I said. []'s
Can you stop STALKING for a few hours ?
Tell us about how you get TWO public pensions in the UK while only contributing to ONE. []'s
Lie. (see last message)
Lie. Wow. You really are laying it on, huh ? It has absolutely nothing to do with income tax. Even someone that has NEVER paid income tax has a right to a pension in the UK. If you are 65, you get a pension. []'s
Thanks Dave. The British system is very different than what this country has going. {which is close to bankruptsy and has been for many years now.] I have two independant pensions plus My SS income. I setup a 401K and a union pension trust income plus what My Wife's SS income adds to the kitty. That Chevy C10 pro mod took a few bucks, but it was fun building it. :D
