As he leaves, the aide he was talking to rolls her eyes. "Surely it can't fall to @@NAME@@ to give people like him handouts.

"Hang on, hang on. Whatever happened to having a caring family?", interjects your aunt, who is nearing old age herself. "When I was young, we used to care for our parents through thick and thin!

Why don't we just make the elderly legal dependants on their children, as a way of paying their parents back for raising them?"
