Is this the employment forum or did I somehow wander into the political forum?

The only thing more convoluted than our tax code is the fact that savers get severely punished for saving money; I've always felt that anybody who can sock away substantially more $$$$$ than the rest of us shouldn't be penalized by having to withdraw it at a certain age.

That's just asinine, IMHO.

Sorry, I can't find sympathy for anyone over 62 crying they can't find a job.


At age 62 one can still draw unemployment and switch over to SS if they choose.

The folks under 62 have my sympathy because the SS option doesn't apply to them yet
