lpv:translated text	"This report puts forward prejudices that are nothing other than stupid but which, in addition, are used as a justification for reducing pensions and increasing the length of one’s working life. To use arguments related to demography and what the report refers to as the ‘constantly increasing life expectancy in conjunction with low birth rates’ equates to deceit if the considerable increase in the profitability of work is also concealed. Given that every worker is increasing their level of productivity, the same number of working people produces more than enough to improve their own standard of living and to guarantee a comfortable pension for three or four times as many pensioners as was possible 25 years ago. If this increase in production capacity were not entirely channeled into profits for the privileged few, society might be able to ensure that all pensioners were paid a full salary, without having to force them to work longer. Your economy turns everything into goods, including the pensioners that you wish to hand over to the finance sharks but, in the same way, it is the working class pensioners who are worn out from working that you are turning into goods, and this is appalling. The inability to ensure that old people live a retirement that is free from material concerns is one of the most striking examples of a self-indulgent society."@en1
