You might replace "income" with declared income! Should a person with half a mill in the bank get the same pension as someone with nothing in the bank? Or should someone with class A health insurance have a medical card? There is entitlement and there is doing what is right and fair. My point is that availability of the above to those who don't need it at the expense of those who do doesn't seem fair to me.Slight exaggeration Here!
Everyone who works and pays PRSI receives the same pension. Free travel is available to everyone over 66, same for electricity units. Phone payments were abolishes several years ago. Medical cards are available to over 70's with incomes of less than €25,000 (hardly millionaires)
And when I was your age I didn't have the things that you have come to take for granted nor did I have any sense of self entitlement, just got on with it.

No country for old men? I don't think so!!!
Hi Sionnac,
Not everyone works in the Public Sector you know
What is the respective age of your parents?
When I needed to make a phone call I had to make my way to the local phone box in all types of weather to make a call. Nowadays there is a lot of whinging and whining when the lastest phone isn't bought.
