Hello, I'm a 69 year old pensioner who has worked all of my life. Why is it that pensioners are not allowed to work tax free? Rent and various outgoings are continually going up and yet the Pension remains at a dismal figure. Let Pensioners go back to work tax free and believe me you will have more than you can find work for. Also, people who are physically able to work should be given a job to do. Why are they allowed to pick and choose or basically 'doss on the dole' because its a job they don't want to do? If you told them that they would not receive payments if they didn't work, you would suddenly find they would work. People who are physically or mentally incapable of working are exempt and that is fine. It's the dole bludgers that get my goat.
