No one is arguing against the making of contributions. I oppose the qualifying criteria which require the making of 260 contributions. That is the piece that needs to be examined. How many 25-year old college graduates have that number of contributions? The answer is very few. Different criteria apply, depending on someone's age from the age of 18 years upwards.
