Billionaire Tells Seniors That 65 Is A 'Crazy' Retirement Age

[patphil]

7. First off, the official retirement age is 67 for anyone born after 1960.

Second, a lot of jobs require physical abilities that someone over 65 just can't handle anymore, either because of loss of strength and/or endurance, or illness.
Third, some companies give incentives to retire so they can fill jobs with young, more healthy employees.
Fourth, people who have put in 40-50 years in the labor market deserve a chance to enjoy their old age.
I could go on, but the problem I see here is that he isn't willing to accept the idea that us old folks have a life outside of work...something he apparently doesn't have.

Fink's a fuckin' billionaire, and we aren't. His view of life is entirely alien to ours.
His commentary on what we see as important in life is irrelevant.

Edit: I think the maximum amount that is taxable for SS should be raised to $500,000. If Fink really wants to do some good, he should get on board for that as an answer to future SS funding.
