Nice populist rhetoric, but it has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
(Wish I were one of them, but I'm not.)

Except that this populist rhetoric is accurate.

Agreed. But it is. One of the things that makes it worse is that in the past
it was common for children to care for their parents at home when the parent
got too old and infirm to live on his own. Now the custom seems to be to
dump them in a nursing home, making sure that they get rid of all their
assets three years in advance, so the guvmint will pay the bill.

Sounds to me like you have no idea what this means for children who
have to have two jobs just to get by. It's probably one of the hardest
choices they have to make.
