I have worked my entire life - and worked hard. Just because of this I get nothing. I don't like handouts but so many are getting them that don't need them that I'd like to get my fair share. I would appreciate lower taxes or no income taxes just as much.
OK, but your "small pension" must total $73,128/ year since you only get $1872/year in SS and stimulus checks were given out this time to those with income under $75,000. Then please define "fair share". Do you believe you paid your "fair share" of taxes all your life?
