阿嬤的願望!(四)

轉載:<台灣立報>之「921災區民眾史」
■作者:施朝祥


這笑話,阿嬤邊講邊感嘆,就道出了自己也曾面臨過相似的窘境,當時,開始實施「老年年金」制度後,阿嬤也跑去向里長伯申請,然而,里幹事就說:「阿嬤你嘛幫幫忙,你有這麼多個兒子,怎麼還來申請老年年金?」

阿嬤說:「兒子也有家庭要顧,現在那麼不景氣,孫子的學費都快繳不出來了,怎麼還有閒餘的精力去奉養老母親呢?這老年年金,不就是政府在保障老人無工作時的生活費用嗎?我可以穿不好、住卡差、交通卡歹,但是一定要有飯可吃,才活得下去。這只不過為了維持起碼的生活,不用去乞討,有一點基本尊嚴的活著罷了。怎麼又是一個可看不可吃的大餅呢?」

我當然不同意這種「債留子孫」的現金主義老人政策--即各種實為政策買票的年金政策,而應輔導孤苦貧窮的老人們組織起來,興建符合老人特殊需求的公共住宅,讓他/她們集體居住,相互照顧相互扶持,從事體力能承受的勞動、各式文藝創作或興趣,並開發前半生被社會體制所壓抑的生命潛能,如此不但能減輕國家財政負擔,還能在晚年之餘回饋貢獻社會,肯定自己的存在價值,而不是等死.....

但是,我更不能同意,需要年金的老人卻遭到苛刻的拒斥!試想,同樣是老人,同樣有兒女,為什麼阿嬤一個月幾千元的「老人年金」領不得,而李登輝一年可由納稅人供奉一千多萬?這是民主嗎?這是那門子的社會公平?

古聖人老子說:「天之道,損有餘而補不足;人之道,損不足以奉有餘。」

那天,有個民間的社工團體來介紹日本一九九五年的阪神大地震生活重建說:
「日本的老人安養是以老人為本位,只要是家裏有老人的,就給予特別的補助,如果有家眷的,則會再特別補助給其家眷,讓老人的兒女們都樂於奉養老人,老人是個「寶」而不再是個累贅。日本政府用合於人情義理的良善政策,來達到一個父慈子孝的祥和社會。如此仍無人奉養的獨居老人,則會派遣社工員時常到老人居住的場所,訪視問候他們的起居生活。」

聽到這裏,阿嬤不免感嘆萬千,日前,<九二一震災災後生活重建中心>的人才來做問卷調查,四年來,這已經不知是第幾次了,每次都是問了便沒有下文,但是,阿嬤還是耐心的再回答一次,只是社工員還是特別強調,只有「獨居老人」才能享有每個月三千元左右的租金--所謂「平價住宅」的優惠租金。

阿嬤心想,三千多元的租金,外加生活費一千元、水電費一百元、大樓管理費八百元等,一個月要將近五千元。目前,老年年金一個月才三千元,另外兩千元不知要從何而來,即使自己真的通過「平價住宅」的申請案,有沒有錢可以搬入進住,還是個大問題呢?

怎麼辦?難道又要回到剛地震時住在帳蓬,餐風露宿地生活下去嗎?飽受風霜雨露的阿嬤,在垂暮之年,卻還沒能停止她的苦難--政策與體制所加諸於她的苦難,她最奢侈的願望就是重回地震前的「愜意」生活而已--有個安身之所,有些老朋友可以串串門子,有塊小小的地可以讓她自給自足。

這真的是很奢侈的願望,因為在統治當局「消滅災民,粉飾太平」的逼壓下,她不曉得何時會被「貶」為街頭遊民......(完)
