Friend if you carefully read your post I think it is obvious what is wrong with most who consider themselves conservative.
Disability should never be an option unless you are disabled and cannot feed yourself.
I don’t know about where you live but here in south central Missouri I can have you a few jobs within an hour. They may not be what you want to do, they may not offer great pay or benefits but you will be pulling your own weight providing for yourself, something that should make anyone proud.
God help us when we start to think like the recipients we despise.
I live in western Washington (Pierce County)
Your point is well made, I mentioned disability, but I prefer death to being a ward of the state.
No, I just keep going, because I pay my bills like a responsible conservative and I own up to my mistakes and try to overcome. I have had some bad luck and have also made some mistakes, I’m working at it.
Another point that goes with what you said is that even if you play by the rules when taking to the government teat in collecting unemployement and then take a lower paying job it cuts the amount you receive should you need to go back on it again because the amount you receive is calculated on your lower wage you accepted in your calculation, as a result you are punished for taking a job to get off the teat.
There is nothing more frustrating to a conservative than relying on government. That is what I scream to people when they say I should go on disability like them. It really torques me off!
Right now I qualify for unemployment but I cannot stomach going there. I have been doing what I can and taking these little jobs as you call them, and surviving despite my constant sickness in dealing with diabetes. My short comings are wholly accepted by me as a my personel problem to overcome.
My statement in was made to illustrate part of the cause in the drop of employment claims.
Sorry if it sounds like I was sarcastic with you.
I am very, very depressed and that is a terrible condition to be in when job searching.
