A neighbor of mine relies on social security and said he only gets $3000/year. He's a cancer survivor in poor health with crippling bipolar disorder and lives in a care home. The home provides food and shelter but not clothing or recreation, so the locals always help him out. He's only in his 60s. How is anyone supposed to survive like that? If they cut his pay any further he straight up won't be able to live.
Well you see, at this point since he is no longer able to be exploited for capital, he is no longer useful to the ruling class, and must be discarded. He is a burden to the system an no longer has value. - right wing politics.
My Mom will lose her home as well.
If that’s $3k/yr after paying a care home, that’s not so bad.
Social security is based on what you pay in: your top 35 years. If he truly only gets $3k/year, did he even work? Yes, you could argue there should be something need based
