People should not give their money to the government
@9ZQ5RS72wks2W
No and you should be able to opt out of it if you can prove you are financially literate. This 4.49% could be used in my stock account..
@9RTLWCP4mos4MO
Yes, if we can afford it, but reduce the deficit and debt first, also allow people to opt out and have a choice for private pensions
@9RZPX674mos4MO
only if to help their individual retirement. abolish gimmick tax scams in canada and allow people to make actual money
@9H6XNKX1yr1Y
No. Retirement age should be raised immediately. After that should be assessed and raised according to average life expectancy.
@9GZYG4J1yr1Y
No, and any Canadian get to retire at any desired age and repeal the Canadian Pension Plan so it would become private pension plan instead.
@9GPTJ2D1yr1Y
Yes, the CPP employee contribution should be adjusted at pre-determined intervals to ensure there are sufficient funds to meet current and projected needs.
@9F2XS9M1yr1Y
If this rises that creates an inflation, making a person pay more. They still would be receiving more but it would cancel out because of the inflation rate. Therefore, you would be receiving less on your paycheck.
