It's not his self esteem that I am fundamentally concerned about. It is society's viewpoint about them that frames how we treat others on many issues.

Sorry, I just don't get what you saying. You saying that you want him to retire with greater dignity (maybe we can give him a new Cadillac) or he doesn't have the basic needs met?
If you tell me the latter, it's not true. We do have public assistance available for guys like him. If it's not enough to take a trip to Europe, and it definitely isn't going out in style -well that's simply too bad.
From where I sit, I could care less about what others think of me. I don't need anyone to get by and no one dictates anything in my life. We should all spend a little less time worrying about the next guy, and take care of ourselves. I respect others who see it the same way - they're not liabilities to anyone else.
I still think you meant self-esteem though, that's laughable.
