Should the State Pension be means tested?We have a problem for sure. People have not saved for pensions for decades. We have lived through times when pension provisions were often catered for by our employer,at least in part. Materially, we did not have as much or indeed expect as much. We paid the pensions of those that went before us and we now expect those tax payers of today to pay our pensions. Why should we expect less of the tax payers today? Society has changed however. People now question more and challenge authority. I believe that pensions should be paid as we believed they would for all of our working lives. Tax bands provide the answer,not means testing.
