On the one hand, I see how this might be necessary to continue a welfare state.<p>On the other hand, really? A person is institutionalized from a very early age (school), proceeds to follow orders from a boss (work-life for most), and now policy makers want to limit even the small part of life that a person has to himself (retirement). Might it not be a better option to impose a wealth tax on the very rich and use that to fund retirement?
