Overtaxed deserve HEAP

Wow! I can’t begin to describe my disdain for a person who beats up a retired person who qualifies for and gets HEAP (“Out of Control,” Oct. 12-18). This person’s post was disgusting. If a person who worked all their life gets to benefit from a government program in the last chapter of their life, more power to them. Does the poster have any idea how much a working class Joe (Jane) gets bilked from their entire working life. Most middle incomers lose a pretty substantial amount of their pay to taxes that in part support the needy. I’ll tell you what...let’s do it your way. Let me save all of the tax money as a reserve for my retirement so I can buy my own propane. I still cannot fathom how people can be so ignorant. Clearly this person has not been in the overtaxed club like most retirees have!
