Where 'doing the right thing' is synonymous with 'being abled bodied' in this case.
Being disabled is expensive. Adding to that cost, because being disabled also has more 'externalities' is a pretty vindictive move.
Not to mention the fact that it means rich folks get to do the 'wrong thing' more, and with less significant personal consequences.
Sounds like a terrible system.
- slavik81 11y agoIf the disabled suffer extra costs, I'd rather give them extra money and retain the right incentives. It's true the rich do get to waste more, but that's already the case. At least then they would pay for it. That's extra money that could go to help the poor.
- sago 11y agoLovely: make it clear that we're inherently immoral (not doing the 'right thing'), and increase our dependency on charity.
- slavik81 11y agoIt's not a matter of morality. It's a matter of environmental cost. All people put a burden on the environment. If disabled persons need more resources and therefore put a greater burden on the environment than others, that's simply how the world is. It doesn't make them bad people. I'm not talking about charity, either. I'd want the government to make up the difference.
