Closed Stop taxing our pensions

Closed on

In a society where the idle and feckless, are rewarded with benefit payment's in excess of £26000 a year tax free. The time has come for the Government to equally reward hard working, tax payers's who have never been a burden of the state. Who have paid into pension funds, only to see them taxed at the point of need.
This can't be fair, and provides little incentive to for a person to make provision for his or herself.
I ask the Government to consider exempting pensions from tax.
