How “Security” Law Hit One Aged Man SANTA ANA, Calif.—What Social Security did to one aged couplxt brfught this editorlnl protest from the conservative Santa Ana Journal: eta $11 a "An old man—he’s 75 week as gardoner for a local institu tion. "Out of this small ixmount he sup port» himself and his wife aged 65. "About all they have is a place to sleep, a little to eat and the dreams of bygone yearn given to raising flowers and trees so that man-made cities of this world might be more like nature’s own garden*. "There’s nothing left of the $11 to spend on movies, magazines, new dresses and some of the small pleas ures of life. Food, clothes, shelter take it all. But the old couple are willing to work and struggle along. "There's one outstretched hand, however, which angers the old gar dener. That is the hand of the Federal lax collector, reaching for 1 percent of that meager paycheck in order to place it in the Security fund. "The old man has been told by the Federal officials here that chances are he'll never benefit from the fund Why shouldn’t he object? "He's spent a lifetime working with heart and hands to make the world more beautiful, Now he gets only $11 a week, And the tax collector rakes off a percentage of that for a fund which will probably never help him. Now he’s blaming Mr. Roosevelt. "Whether Mr. Roosevelt is to blame for this particular Injustice in the Social Security law, we do not know. "But it seems plain that Uncle Sam made a slip somewhere. The Social Security Act was intended to help, not burden, the aged.” —The Townsend Weekly MILS.
