But they have cumulatively paid more than you. They have paid their dues to society and this has to start to ease off sometime. These people are just getting a small rebate on their taxes.
Because if you are working you are paying taxes and have been for all of your working life. Means testing is effectively an additional marginal tax. You'll be suggesting next that if you work you shouldn't get a pension. All this is beside the point. If you have been paying a particular price with this concession then to suddenly remove it is a big price hike. Presumably this will also apply to all extra games in the cups.
The only people in a state pension aged 60-64 are women and to restrict the concession to them would be discriminatory.
All my life I have seen every other class of society get a concession that was not available to me, even when I was a student. Now that I finally get some incentive it is ripped from my grasp.
All I can say is that there are going to be a lot of empty seats next season.
Absolutely! Why should this age group subsidise the students? And only a two-week window for renewals. Somebody doesn't know how to run a football club.
Not necessarily, I agree with the prof. I don't think that the club had any other choice at that time, but I believe that Dave Jones himself has always said he had no problems with the way that the club treated him.
