34. Those that milk the system are a small fraction.

Those that deserve and get disability are the larger fraction. Conservative talking points would lead one to believe that it is the other way around. By the way, the best way to get the system milkers off of their asses is to provide them the opportunity to have a well paid job and an honest shot at the American Dream.

Something that our friends who write the Conservative talking points fail to mention is corporate welfare. Corporate welfare is exponentially larger than the meager amounts of our taxes that have been placed into the disability system. In the game of Monopoly, the 'haves' can cry all they want about the 'have lesser' types but it is the 'have more' types that are eating everyone's lunch! Don't take my word for it, Google can be your friend, look up which portion of your dollar goes out to disability, which portion to corporate welfare.

America is made weak or strong depending upon our economy and that variable has the co-variable of spending. The more $ spent by the citizenry the better the economy, the less spent the weaker. Even those who milk the disability system spend their money here. The same can not be said for the corporate welfare artists. Their money, OUR TAX $, gets placed in offshore tax havens.

Have you ever heard of one of Ronald Regan's so called "Welfare Queen's" purchasing one of our politicians so 'she' can stay on welfare? Of course not! Would you truly be surprised to learn that a small portion of corporate welfare $ is used to purchase OUR politicians? Yep, your tax dollars used by corporate welfare artists are undermining our very democracy!

So maybe it might be more prudent to complain about the folks who are really screwing over this country, it is not the poor, it's surely not the disabled and contrary to what FOX News claims, it is not even that tiny fraction of a percentile that just don't feel like working but prefer to sit home and milk the disability system for a meager monthly paycheck.
