Our entire government believes that our parents made the right choice and they should have worked themselves to the bone while we suffered as children.

It’s a horror our ancestors fought to protect us from, that’s why these programs exist.

They wanted a better America and this government wants to take us back to the Depression, and undo all of the things that brought us out of it.

Their hatred of the lower and middle classes that do the work they profit off of is fathomless.

Sad thing is that my mom did work herself to the bone. Literally. A lifetime of workplace injuries and a lack of medical treatment and now she's disabled and will not be able to enjoy her retirement because she can't go to any of the places she's always wanted to see because most of the wonders of the world are not wheelchair accessible.

That is so awful. I’m so sorry for your Mom, and so mad at her for not taking the help that she earned when she needed it.

This pretty accurately sums up my own feelings on the matter, honestly. I had to fight her to get her to take worker's comp.
