You ain't seen nothing yet!
The takers / professional voters will soon outnumber the producers. The mid-terms in the fall may be our last chance to get our country back!
The disability attorneys will shoot for the advanced amount.They attempt to prove that the person in question is disabled beyond the normal extent.Tack on at least another grand if they get that.
How about kicking some of those cheats off the dole and let some of us who are really disabled to get our money that we paid into the system. Instead of being denied time after time, having to hire a lawyer and contact a congressmans'office for help.
It is my money, and I need it. Stop giving it to people who have never worked, illegals, and certain groups just so they will vote for your sorry asses.
If not for people like me working and paying into the system, there would be NO MONEY in the damn system.
Oh, and stop raiding and stealing from the funds.
