Do enlighten us.
It must work fine for some people. Otherwise there wouldn't be 3-4 generations of the same families on it, right? Apparently there isn't much incentive for them to make better life choices.

He got around fine and was able to work full time but SSI was so much easier. And there are doctors willing to stretch the truth a bit to help people get their SSI check. I could go on with so many examples.
It's actually not that easy to get disability. My significant other is a disability attorney, and she sees truly disabled people get rejected all the time. If your fat friend got on disability just for being overweight or something, shame on him.

By all means...if you want to help others, feel free to do it yourself, with your own resources. Nobody is stopping you, except yourself.

But you should remember that the people you are stealing from for the purpose of helping those you deem more deserving have a right to their property as well.

I guess using the government to steal from your neighbors somehow salves what little conscience you may otherwise claim to have.

The generosity of a liberal knows no bounds, so long as the liberal is giving away someone else's money.

Who raises YOU like this? My husband and I work very hard and still live barely paycheck to paycheck, because the wealthy only care about getting richer and not giving others their fair share. You scare me and I am appalled at your ignorance! Plenty of hard working people who make good decisions get shafted every dann day.

Or the selfishness and immorality of a conservative as long as they are taking money from the middle class and poor.

Fair share? How about YOU work for it instead of stealing from others? And no plenty of hard working people do not make good decisions only to get shafted. You get shafted when you support something that doesn't work. Progressivism is a known failure. Only fools and parasites support that philosophy.

Conservatives don't take others money. The ethically and morally bankrupt progressive does that.
