An increase of SS payments is to much of burden on the rich....

1. I'm going to stay awake all night now worrying about those rich people. No, really!

It should keep my mind off more pressing matters. If I do sleep and dream, it will be with visions of another $60 dancing in my head. That would be almost enough to replace what the state screwed me out of in August when my income had not changed a penny. Kicked me higher up the copay ladder, then declared my expenses had dropped! and used that as an excuse to take away my food stamps. What they really did was push me another $65 a month deeper down the rabbit hole with that Orwellian accounting. Believe me, I sounded off loud and clear even though I knew it wouldn't do any good.

But now that I've calmed down a little, I promise to try to remember the rich man's burden.
