As a single mother, I have a lot of respect for people who do it all on basically nothing. I've been pretty lucky, I guess. I don't get much child support, hell, I pay child support... but I have always been able to earn a decent living. I don't make very much at my day job, and I always claim zero dependents in order to get the best possible return. I paid a few thousand dollars last year in taxes, and even with an EIC, I got all but $2k back.
Yes, they take out SS. Everybody gets hit by that, regardless of income.
She wasn't always in this state of poverty. Shit happens, and it's not always the fault of the person it happens to.
