I WAS so angry at the comments of Des Murphy (HAS, Jan 4) in his reply to Malcolm Pratt’s letter (HAS, Dec 30) about pensioner benefits that I just had to reply.
My wife and I both worked for more than 50 years and paid superannuation, National Insurance and tax as did most pensioners.
Does Mr Murphy think you stop paying tax when you retire?
We are still being heavily taxed 13 years after retiring.
