24. I have a friend with MS that is just like that. Without all the programs he benefits

from, courtesy of liberal Democrats and some moderate republicans, he would have a miserable life or be dead already. At the very least he's be dependant on his family to take care of him. That would mean thousands in expenses every year and a considerably lower status for him.

As it is, he's got a power chair, customized van, handicapped accessible in every way free housing, and with in reason, can pretty much go where he pleases. I guarantee you, the value of every service he uses and what he consumes is more than my lifestyle costs. It's probably not even close. Still, he's teabagger to the bone.
