I was a small business owner for over 30 years. After becoming disabled and needing to collect SSI at age 62 I have realized that l cannot continue to live below the poverty level here in the USA. I have already used my small IRA savings to live on, however I have discovered I can live comfortably in Thailand and that is where I will relocate. It is disheartening that in America we have "corporate interests" put above the "needs of the American people". It will be the final destruction of the middle class and the "American Dream".
