My social security doesn't even cover rent, utilities and food much LESS dental and vision. When I was younger and working I could never get a decent paying job. Yes, I went to school to upgrade my skills. Now I'm apparently too old and do not have enough skills. I remember when employers were forced to set up retirement programs, there sure were none for low income people before that. Your damned social safety net is so full of holes it is pathetic. No wonder Europeans when they come here are agast at food banks and the medical/dental conditions that are rampant. If the capitalist cannot create a society where basic needs are met because the enitities want more and more profit then capitalism is an evil tool. But then again who gives a damn if it isn't your bull being gored! Right? We need a Roosevelt (a traitor to his class). The people who control this country ought to spend a few days in hell, I'd prefer to send Republicans and those Demos who feel no pain straight to the hell I'm living in. I don't drink, I don't smoke and have struggled with educating myself to be employable most of my life and now I'm sick of it. Section 8 housing is not taking applications and the older persons employment division has no openings and yet the damn landlord, utilitiy company, etc keep upping their rates. How many others have no access to health and dental care much less fear living out in the street. What a rotten nation! Classless society my *ss!
