They think that all illness is "faking it to get attention" and that being ill means you're morally defective (like they all have perfect bodies what with all the alcohol and cigarette consumption that people like Boehner do).
I've run into lots of people of the working class type (I'm trying not to call names here) who think that if you sing and dance or play an instrument, you're just doing it "to get attention" like any kind of attention is a bad thing. I was once married to somebody who thought that if I was sick in bed I was doing it "to get attention" and so he went to the OTHER END OF THE HOUSE so as not to "encourage me". What a psycho bastard. He never noticed that his presence or absence had nothing to do with my being ill.
Repubs think people on disability should just get up and walk, and they're faking their crushed vertebrae or whatever, and damn them, those disabled people should just go out and get a job!! Because being disabled is so much fun and the bennies are SO generous!!!
But Ayn Rand got Social Security. So much for the rugged individual.
