Comments on: The elephant in the room: Compulsion http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2010/08/16/the-elephant-in-the-room-compulsion/ The Visible Hand in Economics Mon, 23 Aug 2010 08:24:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Matthew http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2010/08/16/the-elephant-in-the-room-compulsion/#comment-27390 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 08:24:31 +0000 http://www.tvhe.co.nz/?p=5265#comment-27390 Well I agree that opt-out has nothing to do with compulsion. But the subsidies make the current system part way along a continuum towards compulsion. I’m not saying this is an argument for compulsion, but it is a fact that the subsidies of the current system put us part of the way along that road.

In fact given the level of negativity associated with compulsory super in this country (eg Winstons referendum) I was surprised there wasn’t more resistance to the subsidies when they were introduced.
