i think so....i would say that.... I would absolutely disagree. Can't even imagine how one could think so. Pesnion contributions (which you may not even make and could be entirely made by your employer), are basically paid to an account for YOU, not society....and most importantly, are paid into an investment company/bank the one directing the plan elects and NOT to any government or govt entity...which I think is a primary test for if something can be called a tax.
