Another option is to depend on tax payers voting to pay for me in my bankrupt dotage with a government pension. From what I have seen, that is a bad strategy. It has worked in NZ until recent years [with more workers and fewer old people] but as more Chinese arrive and others from dog eat dog cultures, I can't see them voting to work to pay for swarms of stupid, lazy, spendthrift, wastrel, European baby boomers who didn't provide for themselves, or whose families are not around to look after them.

For now, the bludgers have the upper hand because so many producers are fleeing the tax net and low pay to live in Oz, London, Japan, USA, Canada etc. But the bludgers have pretty much run out of opm now and debts are very rapidly rising to pay for government bludgers.
