It’s all about general laziness/desire.

Unless someone has just a terrible disability where they are literally bedridden, even folks who are ‘disabled’ can find SOMETHING to do, if they REALLY want to. It’s all about desire.

On the other hand, you have your lazy 20/30 somethings(as you mentioned) that don’t WANT to work. They WANT to be disabled, and that’s what they will be, come hell or high water. SS Disability is the ticket to ‘freedom’ in their worthless minds. Then they line up the rest of the government handouts. I’m SURE many of them also do a bit of work for cash under the table in order to buy drugs and or playing around/party money.

All of it enabled by politicians who take advantage of the fact that a large number of their constituents can vote themselves access to our Treasury, and by extension, OUR wallets.

I seriously believe that if people don’t pay federal taxes, they shouldn’t be allowed to vote in federal elections! It would take a Constitutional amendment for such a thing to come to pass, and any politician ballsy enough to make such a suggestion would be demonized and practically run off the planet.

Give me a break.

... because what you are essentially saying is that I was perhaps praying to the Lord above to be struck with a progressive form of Multiple Sclerosis in my 20's which would prevent my from continuing to work full time after nine years before I was declared disabled.

You are sadly uneducated on this subject.

If you think that I, who haven't been able to hold down a job in 20 years while trying to work - simply because of desire or laziness you are sadly mistaken.

Especially since for the first 15 years of my disability I didn't even have Social Security. I only got it relatively recently due to a worsening of my condition and I only accept it because it is insurance that I paid for and not a hand out.

Human health is a very, very complicated thing my FRiend. You may wish to re-examine your comments before you make such broad, ignorant and entirely insulting statements.

I have neighbors in their late forties who are both on disability AND working jobs under the table. Sickens me when they roll in every two years with a new car and truck. They oftentimes are handwashing their vehicles..and mowing thier lawn without a problem...so go figure! Makes me soooo mad!
