You miss my point. My point is that if they made a right breakdown at 65, then you will see still majority of people would like to retire at 65 when they are qualified for Medicare and social security. I bet that the majority of that 40% of 64-69 group is in the group of 65. Just some common sense.

Nobody should whine as much about the problem of financing retirement as the blacks. Today a black man at birth has a life expectancy of 67.8. Social security has announced they will soon raise the retirement bar to 67.

This reminds be of some outlawed practice but I can't remember what it is.

"As a result, a black male at birth today can expect to pay Social Security taxes his entire life and collect only a few months of benefits"
