How did we get from “steals from the rich to give to the poor”, to “steals from the poor to give to the rich”, to “steals from the disabled to give to the rich”?

I am absolutely dreading this. Life is already so hard and difficult and my little world is shrinking. We can no longer afford things like fresh greens even in season most of the time, it has to be frozen peas.
This part’s true by the way:
My benefit is less than half what I would get if I could work a minimum wage job. Which I would love to do. Anything.
As far as I can tell, this is because for many long years they were indexed to CPI which is lower than the real rate of inflation for poor households.
I honestly don’t know how people like me are going to survive if it moves back to it.
What really scares me is that cold and hunger both make my serious illness worse. I don’t want to end up a vegetable that can’t ever get out of bed or read and write.
