Actually you're wrong about that as far as the EU is concerned. Young working people's taxes are being used to support the older generation retired. Too many old people and their taxes never covered them for the life expectancy of today. Which is the same mistake the private sector made with pensions.

Yes private is a good way to go. If you can afford the exorbitant costs of the private sector.

Your debate is flawed with this part. "keeping"

Can you explain how the Government keeps your money please.
