Reply #136: Tell me how:

Tell me how family disconnection and caring for our disabled, eldery, and impoverished parents & children is not a societal issue.

I'm just stating that there is no shame in having a parent live with you-in response to the person who's MIL doesn't have water. I've walked the walk-my mother lived with me until she died and I changed her diapers and fed her (literally). Not everyone can do that. I did it living in a 40 yr apartment with my spouse & 2 kids.

I'm not saying that the State has no responsibility to it's citizens. I never said that. Our Government should care for those in need.
I am saying that helping family shouldn't be looked down on in this country, it's overwhelming (trust me) to do it.

I am not understanding what you are trying to say because you are not giving any specifics, you are just saying think socially. So please educate me on it. I'm not being snarky.
