Worried about your retirement? |
Retirement I don't think so
I worked hard all my life, I probably built your home, fixed your car, or built your cabinets, filled your yard with dirt and flowers, or even taught your children Karate. I payed my taxes for Social Security and Disability, and then at a work injury I lost my whole life. The Workman's comp is a big joke and tossed me in the streets so I tried to work again but found I couldn't do what I was trained to do, wanted to do, or could do, without ton of pain pills, depression set in with the lack of help from doctors of today "greed" and they just give you more pills to take and I was in so much pain, I wanted to die, and I tried by my own hand. Then to file for disability became just as big a joke and now I live with nothing, no income, no health care, no one will hire a 50 year old disabled man and I see my future as only death will save me. So if you have any kind of retirement at all you should thank God above for your blessings. If your retirement is coming from Illegal matters as so many are, You better thank God your still living in a world that is going to be your hell. I'm going to retire the day the lord takes me and only then, unless my depression keeps coming from seeing no future for people like me and I leave this mess myself.....Thanks for nothing America
