All the competition issues have been worked out in cases such as Albany and FFSA.

Would'nt it be better if there was a state fund set up that was ring-fenced against government pillaging. This fund should be guaranteed, with the cash staying in the country and not used by fraudsters to fund their short-term gambling. In my opinion this should be optional with no tax relief for incomes over 50/60 grand a year. this in turn would save the state about 2 billion in tax relief per year, and when you retire, your pension(YOUR OWN MONEY)will be there for youjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621973213817937463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817171247555815363.post-17374903355443519822010-03-06T13:14:28.338+00:002010-03-06T13:14:28.338+00:00constantin - i dont interpret the plan as enrollin...constantin - i dont interpret the plan as enrolling people into a government pension. surely the plans themselves will be normal private run pension plans?Liam Delaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905424104233324535noreply@blogger.com
