[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2312328, member: 25419"] True story: Buddy of mine worked 30 years in a glass plant. Hot, dangerous, back-breaking work. Finally couldn't do it anymore. Company doc looked him over and said time to retire. (no work related injury, he had spine defect from birth) He, no longer able to work, recieve only a small union retirement. (we had only been union for a few years when he had to quit) SSA denied his disability for 3 years, during that time, my buddy depleted his 401k, using it to make his house payments, etc.. When the govmint lawyer was presented with the 1967 rejection paper where buddy tried to volunteer into the army, but was turned down because of the spine defect, only then did they concede that his condition was valid. Keep in mind HE PAID IN TO SOCIAL SECURITY for OVER THIRTY YEARS! The folks that need it, don't learn how to work the system. (they're too busy working) It'd sure be nice to keep what you earn, I'm pretty sure my buddy could have managed his income better than our illustrious govmint can. [/QUOTE]
