I - GENERAL - don't believe in it - disappDOve of it

2 - AGAINST SUCIAL ~~URES -dent t believe in social welfare -coddles people too much

-people expect somethine for nothing

3 - DESTROYS INlATIVE and/or kills incentive to save -people will have a day to day philosophy instead of thinking about

the future or saving for the future.

4 - AGE LnUT - should be lowered - should get it at 65 - (60)

5 - EXPENSE - someone has to pay for it - we're too small a country for this expense - a burden to the taxpayers

6 - NOT NECESSARY FOR ALL - - give it to needy people only - no need to give it to people who do not need it

- why waste money on somebody that has money -should be according to your means -ridiculous to give it to rich folks
