I bypassed the old-age pensioners and, therefore, how little money many have to do well with.
– A sparse life where an unforeseen expense for heating or a washing machine that breaks down, can topple an already meagre budget.
– Their social lives – too – long run on the back-burner, yes, in short, for many an ignoble existence as older people.
– Even in a country that prides itself to be among the world’s richest.
How to roughly writes Jørgen Mikkelsen – it is behind a borgerforslag to make the state pension basic amount tax free – in an open letter to ældreminister Thyra Frank. Jørgen has also sent a letter to the nation!, so there can extra focus on the proposal. There is preliminary 2115 danes, who supported the idea – when the 50,000 in support in september, the proposal must be addressed in the Parliament:
– am I looking for Thyra Frank attitude to our borgerforslag, ” continues Jørgen in his letter to the minister, and if one should believe in the outcome of a vote on an 8.1 percent wage increase to the people on the pension, the nation! put in time on Monday, so there pluspoint for Thyra if she goes into the fight for more money for the elderly.
More than 25,000 have voted, and the 20,000 think pensioners deserve more.
You can read the entire borgerforslaget and support it, if you think that the old-age basic pension should be tax free – here. Remember to have your NemID ready.
