In the Philippines, you can actually be arrested if you don't help your parents and they need it.
Many people work and live outside their SSS system and even if you pay in you collect a very small check. My friend there gets 60 bucks a month. Some seniors get a small amount thats NOT SSS, and you don't get both.
They have mandatory senior discounts and exception from 12% Sales tax which is typically included in the price when you buy things, BUT the required paperwork is a real pain in the Ass.
Basically, you depend on your children to aid you.
A family with five members need at least PhP 13,873 per month to meet their minimum basic food and non-food needs in 2023. Thats 240 bucks. Thats referring to housing... Minimum wage is about 140 a month for most of the country. Most people earn that or very close to that, many earn less than the minimum.
Saving grace in The Philippines is the fact that few pay house payments. They live in shacks or houses that have been in the family. AND OFW's sending money home.
Why all of this info? They are literally trying to turn the USA into a similar economic model.
Here in the west it mostly goes from senior down because some seniors become quite wealthy. If you pay off real estate, have a pension or 2, have 401k, or 403b, do an IRA and have SS, and other savings too...
In my case, I have SS and modest non-fiat currency, and we have a house abroad free and clear. Here we are now renters since I sold off my property to move abroad for 3 years and build.
Let's be very clear if that is how you take care of your mother, then I damn sure do not want you looking after any of my loved ones as VP or anything else.
Yeah but leftards don't have this "wait a minute" thought enter their heads. Like when AOC pulled her stunt about the broken roof of her grandma's home and only our side pointed out that she's worth millions and spends more per month on her new Tesla than the repair would have cost but somehow it's the government's problem.
According to the comments, during COVID his mom had heart surgery and he left her to recover alone b/c of his rules
Just leave her to starve and die alone...
No wonder his entire family is voting for Trump!
Wait, "what" Tiny Tim doesn't help his own mother lets her go hungry?
and let her heal from surgery on her own.
His mom hates him. She didn't teach him anything honorable.
I am wondering what her mom is like.
Scary to think about.
Yes.
Great point.

IT's somewhat that way in the Vietnamese Culture!!!!
Yes. In Asia, most children would help their parents. I didn't know that in Philippines, you could be arrested if you don't help.
Thanks for the info.
The 10 commandments talk about honor your parents so even God wants us to do that.
There is no codified amount, just what is worked out between parents and offspring, and maybe Barangay officials
I understand. God bless those children.

It sure didn't sound like Walz mom is wealthy but yes, here in the west, the elderly are the wealthy ones.
Abut the only thing I've heard come out of Tim Walz's mouth that I believe is true.
Yes. He is an evil son
Reminds me of the AOC grandma in PR situation.
Oh right. That's right.
OH. True.
This is the demoncrat version of charity. Remember that.
Oh yes. Amazing.
She's probably just as horrible a person as her son, that's how he became a POS in the first place.
Oh, could be, and that's why but still, no, you don't treat your horrible mom that way either.
He is a bad Son. IfnI had his money my mother would have her own apt in my house with a caregiver.
Yes. She would be too.
He only takes 10% of her check.
Oh, howls.
Let's be very clear if that is how you take care of your mother, then I damn sure do not want you looking after any of my loved ones as VP or anything else.
Amen. You summarized it.
He needs a whole pkg of Tampon Tim Tampons shoved up his ass.
They're called Timpons.
Kek!
Let me help. Howls.
don't know what that is

He is an ass
