Forced savings for 20 years of vacation

The remaining life expectancy of 65-year-olds in Germany in 2010 will already be 17.1 years for men and 20.8 years for women. A society is falling apart because of the pension system.

This data is from the Commission for the Sustainability of the Financing of Social Security Systems (2003). If our pension system had been designed by an employee of an insurance company, the insurance company would have every right to dismiss this employee without notice for gross negligence.

High life expectancy despite pension shock
40 years of work and then suddenly the total stress of leisure time. But most of the retirees exposed to this tough transition survive this sudden and profound change.

Serious interference in the organization of life
We in the western industrialized countries always feel like the model students and the head teachers when it comes to human rights. We are the role models that others have to emulate. But what about such serious interventions in our lives as our pension system? Isn't the dream of owning your own company, of becoming self-employed, shattered for many because the forced saving for 20 years of vacation bankrupts the company that has just been founded with a lot of diligence and enthusiasm? Won't many people become unemployed because the employee has to cut back on staff because salaries and contributions to the 20-year compulsory vacation can no longer be financed? Are such serious interventions in people's lives compatible with human rights?

Politics - political targets of PEGE
	Nonpolitical, pragmatic, on the other side of ideologies counts in our politic only one target: A long time lasting civilization able to develop further on a stable base.

Philosophy
	Long-term planning and stability have to be the guiding rules of politics. A philosophy based on the mathematic branch of games theory.

Living standard
	What is living standard? How is living standard correctly measured? Is it possible, that our living standard declines drastic, while uncorrect numbers want to make us belive it's like paradise?

Taxes tax politics
	The consequences of the tax politic for humans and environment. The politicians claim to fight for humans and the environment, but the tax politics shows the exact opposit.

Energy politic
	Decades of wrong energy politic. Instead of more living standard with less energy usage, partial the contrary was reached. A result of the wrong tax politic.

Human right to work
	No human rights violations? Anyone who denies the serious violations of the human right to work is accusing 5 million Germans of not wanting to work.

Human right to family
	No human rights violations? Then why do so many people give up their families and children? Or the fox for whom the grapes are too sour because they are hanging far too high for him.

Plant closures
	Mr. K leads a modest life. His house is paid off, he gets his firewood from the forest and his family has had a small business for generations. Now he has to close down.

Forced childlessness
	Politicians complain that the higher earners have fewer children on average than the poorer sections of the population. But politics is the cause of this.

Human right to honesty
	A system that forces many people to be dishonest is wrong. A system where many people can only survive because they are dishonest is wrong.

Human right to a future
	A system that acts as if there is no future is wrong. A system that is not able to create a positive future for people is wrong.
