[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2312670, member: 1535"] I dont personally know anyone on disability (or welfare) or even who has even tried to get on disability so I dont really have a horse in the race here so to speak but IMO if youve worked hard all your adult life and paid into the system and then something happens to you and you cant work then you deserve help. I just dont understand how with all of the redtape and all that it takes to go thru to even get on disability that people who shouldnt be on it are. I know there are scammers out there who know the system and how to plug into it to get what they want out of it but it just seems like magic when someone who doesnt deserve it gets it. Im thankfully lucky enough to be financially secure so I dont have many worries about taking care of myself or my family, plus Im also indian so I have IHS and programs thru my tribe to fall back on if I didnt have health/disability insurance and money in the bank. Still, I have compassion and empathy for people in trouble and I wouldnt mind paying a little extra if I had to to take care of people who need it- but people who scam the system and keep someone who desperately needs it from help should be shot.
