Insurance Information No. (675)
(Your right to know about the guarantee)
A guarantee of social sufficiency, not enrichment.
Why did you say to a businessman who held an official position: Your son does not need the guarantee..?!
Many repercussions and many reactions I received yesterday in light of the insurance information that I published about the exorbitant salaries and wages, as well as the high pensions received by some, a few heads of companies and others.
A few tried to defend these huge privileges that some people receive and that they should be included in the wage subject to deductions from the guarantee, and that the guarantee loses when it puts a ceiling on the wage subject to deductions.
What I want to say here very briefly is:
The issue is not a profit or a loss for the insurance system or the financial position of the insurance institution at all. The issue has to do with the goals and humanitarian social goals of social security, which is that it was found in order to provide the limits of social sufficiency for the vast majority of people and workers, and not to provide enrichment for some few who have privileges and exorbitant salaries and wages. ..!
Therefore, social security extends in society so that its umbrella covers the widest segment of people, and such a system cannot extend, expand and enlarge its umbrella except by following balanced insurance policies that take into account the vast majority of people and workers and those with medium and low wages, so that it provides them with the limits of social sufficiency, i.e. living Generous, even at its minimum level, and not subsistence or enrichment, and the sustainability of the security insurance system depends mainly on its balance and observance of the rights of the majority, and the extent of its spread and expansion of its umbrella and its ability to consolidate the ground of protection and social justice.
All of the above reminds me of an incident that took place thirteen years ago when I was accompanying the Director General of the Guarantee on a working visit to one of the major bodies. During the visit, we met a senior businessman and owner of a group of companies, who at that time also held a high official position. Subject to deduction of the guarantee, saying: "I give my son a salary of ten thousand... Why is he forbidden to participate in this salary..?!"..
This conversation provoked me, and prompted me automatically and spontaneously to answer on behalf of the general manager, who seemed ashamed to respond, so I said to that official: By God, sir, your son does not need the guarantee..and the guarantee is not the same as the guarantee for workers and simple people..!
