I just wonder sometimes how the human mind works. I was furious at a letter writer who branded Social Security as a “handout from our federal government.” I and my employers paid into the system for some 55 years.

And, the “pittance” he mentions is merely a drop in the bucket to keep food on the table and pay bills for the elderly who worked hard to earn it as the cost of living continues to rise.
