The disability program is hurting society. You can get disability for having autism.
Once they are on it, they have incentives to stay on it forever. If they make even one dollar working they lose it all, so they make extra cash under the table through committing fraud, selling drugs, etc.
No one can sue them and take it away, so they do things like go without insurance, buy things on credit with no intent to pay, titling their car in someone else's name, and hundreds of other tricks they learn in their new 'job'. By day they can do whatever they want. People who work have to pay not only to sustain them but also for the damage that they are causing directly to them.
- BuckRogers 10y agoSeconded. That stood out to me too in his post. Disability seems to be widely abused in the western world. I'm for social welfare, but I'm not for mismanagement and abuse. Disability as it exists today is a concern that needs to be addressed.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoEveryone is for rugged individualism until they're incapacitated. Good luck.
- BuckRogers 10y agoI think you'll need the good luck with the reading comprehension displayed here. I'm as for disability assistance as much as anyone you'll find.
- efnx 10y agoYou guys have the advantage of being able to work. Your minds and bodies are healthy. Man up and take care of those less fortunate, even if it means a minority game the system.
- travi5 10y agoYour mind will change once a "disabled" driver with no insurance runs their car into you at 50 mph and gets off scott free while you are stuck with the bill and repercussions. I know someone who is literally blind and he works just fine. Even know a guy with ALS who can barely move who still works. I could probably qualify for legit disability as well but I choose not to be a degenerate leech and actually work.
- toomuchtodo 10y ago> I know someone who is literally blind and he works just fine. Even know a guy with ALS who can barely move who still works. > but I choose not to be a degenerate leech and actually work. Your viewpoint is disappointing. It is not okay that someone who has ALS must work. You are not a leech if you are physically disabled and cannot work because of it. I'm not even mad man, I just feel sorry for you. Push the keyboard away and spend time cultivating some empathy.
- coldtea 10y agoYeah, the Nazi's had a good idea, put those leeching cripples and ALS to forced labour camps /sarcasm
- BuckRogers 10y agoThat's not at all what I meant, attacking the legitimately handicapped. You should be ashamed of yourself taking it out of context on purpose just to self-righteously complain.
- coldtea 10y ago>The disability program is hurting society. You can get disability for having autism. Autism can be a severe disability, not just the mild "geeky asperger" type. One could literaly not be able to communicate at all...
