(16,519 posts)like that truly believe they are different and special. It is the same when they are collecting SNAP, yet scream fraud and abuse for others who collect it. They are the only ones who deserve it, they really are on hard times. Inflated sense of ego.
I have an aunt whose daughter gets SSDI. She thinks everyone except her daughter is abusing the system. She votes solidly repub, every single election. You know because they want to cut social programs. They somehow think because their family member is not abusing, the cuts won't affect them. She refuses to see that without rental, medical,heating assistance and SSDI her daughter would not be able to live on her own.
The irony was when her daughter moved to a solid red state and found out that all the social benefits she uses were cut by at least 25%. She moved back north because she could not afford to live there. She couldn't even afford the gas to get to her Dr's office and once had to call an ambulance to take her to the ER, because her car was on minus E. She found out what is was to live in Republican Utopia. But her Mom still votes R. Get those leeches off the system.
