You Want to Raise the Retirement Age? Walk a Mile In Our Shoes First

You Want to Raise the Retirement Age? Walk a Mile In Our Shoes First
"I don't know about anyone else, but as someone who has actually worked at one of those jobs where you take a shower at the end of the work day and not before you go in, I'm sick to death of watching these overpaid television pundits and their counterparts in the Congress, nonchalantly discussing raising the retirement age. It may not matter much to them, but there are real economic hardships involved when you force the average wage earner out there to continue to work until they drop dead if the retirement age is raised any higher than it already is now."
