MP David Willetts bleats on in his book and in the media about ‘how the baby boomers took their children’s future – and why they should give it back’. His thesis is that the baby boomers’ excessive consumption and borrowing has put a huge debt burden on the next generation.
Ok, Willetts if you want to help the next generation, why not renounce your right to your generous MP’s pension. Any of us would have to put £50,000 a year into our pension fund to get the same pension as you. When you retire, the next generation will be taxed millions so that you can live the rest of your life in luxury – so help them Mr. Willetts. Give up your pension and get a few of your greedy, expenses-fiddling mates to do the same. Instead of preaching at us from the comfort of your wealth, why not lead by example!!! Otherwise, shut the f… up!
