72:6.1 This [[nation]] is making a [[determined]] [[effort]] to replace the [[self]]-[[respect]]-destroying type of [[charity]] by [[dignified]] [[government]]-insurance guarantees of [[security]] in old age. This nation provides every [[child]] an [[education]] and every man a job; therefore can it successfully carry out such an insurance [[scheme]] for the [[protection]] of the infirm and aged.
72:6.2 Among this people all [[persons]] must retire from gainful pursuit at sixty-five unless they secure a permit from the [[state]] labor commissioner which will entitle them to remain at [[work]] until the age of seventy. This age [[limit]] does not apply to [[government]] servants or [[philosophers]]. The [[physically]] disabled or permanently crippled can be placed on the retired list at any age by [[court]] order countersigned by the pension commissioner of the regional [[government]].
72:6.3 The funds for old-age [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pension pensions] are derived from four sources:
72:6.4 1. One day's earnings each month are requisitioned by the federal [[government]] for this [[purpose]], and in this country everybody works.
72:6.5 2. Bequests—many [[wealth]]y [[citizens]] leave funds for this [[purpose]].
72:6.6 3. The earnings of compulsory labor in the [[state]] [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/MInes mines]. After the conscript workers [[support]] themselves and set aside their own retirement contributions, all excess [[profits]] on their labor are turned over to this pension fund.
72:6.7 4. The income from [[natural]] [[resources]]. All natural [[wealth]] on the continent is held as a [[social]] [[trust]] by the [[federal]] [[government]], and the income therefrom is utilized for [[social]] [[purposes]], such as [[disease]] prevention, [[education]] of [[genius]]es, and expenses of especially promising [[individuals]] in the [[statesmanship]] schools. One half of the income from [[natural]] [[resources]] goes to the old-age pension fund.
72:6.8 Although state and regional actuarial foundations supply many forms of protective insurance, old-age pensions are solely [[administered]] by the federal [[government]] through the ten regional departments.
72:6.9 These government funds have long been honestly [[administered]]. Next to [[treason]] and murder, the heaviest penalties meted out by the [[courts]] are attached to [[betrayal]] of [[public]] [[trust]]. [[Social]] and [[political]] disloyalty are now looked upon as being the most heinous of all [[crimes]].
