I think I may be understanding what you're saying better than you do.

You got to try harder Brumar89 i did not get any government benifits at age 51 No government pension. No government pension.

What i got was health care as described on this thread many times but you don't seem to want to understand....Health care which i am paying for through my taxes, donation and blablabla.. all the rest,, and which i was paying into all the years that i worked.

Whether you're getting a private pension or something like SS, you're still getting government provided health care. And the taxes you paid when you were working, almost certainly paid for other folks care. Now you're able to stop working and ride on others. Great for you but is it really good for society for people to start riding on it so early?

"I will be paying for my health care through the tax system till the day i die."

Would you not be paying higher taxes if you continued to work? I think you'll be paying a lot less for the government provided health care because you chose to retire rather than keep working. You're not the only one paying for your health care btw - your whole society pays for it. Ultimately all government benefits are paid for by someone .... someone who works for a living.

my company called me to go back to work.

I refused, and told them to get a 20 year old in and train him for the job...he needed it i didn't

twice so you get it..

I assume you think you did a praiseworthy thing. Which means you think there are a finite number of jobs out there and you helped a young person by retiring early. Things don't work that way. That young person is paying for your health care and if you were working, he would surely be able to find some other work.
