I grew up in a home on Social Security where Social Security UNLAWFULLY withheld income from my MOM as WIDOW raising 4 kids alone and CAUSED the LOSS of our home because of inability to make payments where we spent many months without various utilities she was unable to pay. BOTH Parents worked from the time they were 15 and 16 until my Dad died in a car/train crash at 41 & Mom was left to raise 4 young kids ALONE with help from NO ONE--she worked as a housekeeper for schools and a local hospital. She got NO "welfare" or food stamps or assistance from any government agency. She was forced to repeatedly move while renting and when able to purchase back the home taken away from her because of things done by Social Security and a daughter and local church pastor, it was taken away again by her son where she was left to exist the last years of her life in fear of being homeless while ALONE with HELP from NO ONE but MY family--myself and 2 of our kids who stayed with her when possible.
NO ONE can function or exist on Social Security and the income LIMITS are ABSURD and WRONG with penalties (money stolen by Social Security) from what was PAID and EARNED by individuals over a lifetime. TAXING Social Security income is WRONG when individuals worked a lifetime to have that MEAGER income available at 62 or 65. Those forced to retire at 62 to 65 generally have to work at minimum wage jobs like WalMart "greeters" where employment hours restricted to part time don't even cover transportation costs while providing ZERO medical and other "benefits" so that they are FORCED to quit or get laid off or let go. It's a nightmare. The last 2 weeks every month we had little to no food and she did without to make sure kids had food.
