[quote=Anonymous][quote]I have a friend who is Korean and expected to provide for his mom. As the eldest son he IS the retirement plan. He is horrified by Americans treatment of their parents and how they are viewed as a burden. Ive tried to explain that we are not all the same, but he's convinced I'm an outlier.

I could not imagine my mom being the OP of this thread it would break my heart to see her so worried and beating heraelf up. If my mom had not made the sacrifices she did for me in life i probably would not be in such a position to help her. [/quote]

Bless your heart!  Let's remember SS was created during the Great Depression - a desperate time during which the elderly were the poorest segment of American society.  We grew into the richest country in the history of the world afterwards, our parents and grandparents paying into SS all the while.  It became part of the PLAN and cost a lot to fund it, from workers' paychecks - and nothing more.  Let's hunt and fucking kill the Republicans who want it gone.  They are the ones who should justifiably "horrify"  your Korean friend.  Most of us, a huge majority of Americans, support our Social Security system for our parents and grandparents.  They paid for it, Damn it. Let their oppenents fry on the "third rail," I say.[/quote]
