coming son.
I never heard him disparaging disabled people once.
nuff said.

Just like his neighbor Cliven Bundy.

Like what makes someone do this?

disability portion of OASDI gets easier. So, the answer to your question is billionaires like Koch and Peterson, who can't stand to see the most needy among us get a damned break on their tax dollars, when they could put the money to more profitable use, like buying up elections and officeholders.

Of a sociopabth.

Ten bucks says Raytheon is a big donor to this guy. Yeah sure, hard work and genius!

I can only hope that one day, I can work up the courage to say how I really feel about Cresent Hardy.

OMG

“I have three children,” Hardy explains. “One of them is summa cum laude and two were magna cum laude. The other one, he didn’t need an education.

Disabled people are cared for thanks to gubmint help. It's in the millions, maybe billions. I welcome them going after the programs that help them. Come on, repigs, let's make them work and deny them benefits!

on Hannity's sagging nut sack . ( wow that was uncalled for )

People dont choose to be disabled,and for me being disabled in body and with mental injury caused by other people,it fucking hurts,its not sitting on ones ass draining the system you smug parasite.

SSI/SSDI can provide supportive income while a disabled person is working: they just aren't able to work enough to maintain a sustainable income to support themselves.

Guess what - the health condition of disabled people varies over a life time. They may even go off disability and enter the full-time workforce for swathes of time. It's actually the god-awful bureaucracy that people keep pegging on to "discourage fraud" that make this harder and harder to do.

Even if you aren't working for income - does that mean your life has no value? That just means you aren't able to meet some HR performance standards and that you couldn't meet the expectations of others.

But perhaps you could work at your own pace: write a novel, paint, develop a computer program - do something else that only you as a unique human being can do.

Often disabilities give a person a special lens upon the world. This is literal in the case of vision-related disabilities. Whole books have been written on ophthalmology and modern art.

Gifted and Talented programs for children used to be justified by the idea of "what if we're missing a little Einstein or a little da Vinci?" Well, why do we only ask that of children? By devaluing disabled people, we could also be missing that Einstein or da Vinci as well.

Paraphrasing you.

Just think, if the British National Health Service weren't so good, Stephen Hawking would be long dead and the world would not have his brilliance to help us understand the universe.

Remember this, back during the debates about the ACA?
