fraudulant disability rant

[Ginevive]

I need to rant, and I am sure that some of you can relate or at least enjoy reading me rant. I was told by a friend, that this woman we know, is practicing disability fraud. She is basically being paid by the government to sit home and do nothing, when she has no real handicaps or disabilities at all.. She gets "scared and terrified" at the idea of working, yet she can shop, drive a large van, live alone and otherwise be normal.. so she gets a nice 3000.00 check this month, more in the future. AND she regularly gambles at the casino!!
Now, I am not rich. I work in collections for about 1500.00 a month, after taxes.. I have been at it for a year, and finally this month I got a bonus that equals about 2500. Well.. half of that nice check goes to taxes. Taxes that help pay for these low-lives to sit around and do nothing when they CAN work, and they feed off of people like me who slave away for 40 hours a week, not to mention caring for home life, kids (though I have none, I mean working parents here.) They're paid to drive whatever car they choose (I see these tenants of Mark's property-management investors..) These low-lives can be fully functioning workers, instead they do nothing, get money, and go out and RACK UP credit card debt.. have a thousand kids.. I am also bitter because I collect from these people, and they have the audacity to say that they can't pay this month b/c it's the holidays. Heh, I am getting my family members cheapo gifts; this does not affect my budgeting at all, because.. hello.. I have good credit because I work and pay my bills. The real reason for my joy in this season is not buying my sister a DVD; it is spending time with my healthy, happy family.
I ain't buying the whole thing about disadvantages in life. Mark and I both came from diddly squat; he started his biz with about $10 in the bank, and I am fighting tooth and nail at this job, and succeeding finally.. these people should be ashamed of themselves for feeding off of decent hardworking Americans.
I need to add. I am NOT talking about the genuinely disabled who need help; the elderly who worked their lives and are on SSI. Or people like my friend, who are in constant, not-made-up pain from a car accident or other health misfortune. Or people who get non-preventable diseases such as cancer, or even those that develop from work-related injuries. I seriously feel for these people and if taxes were not required, I would freely give to these people because I could be like that tomorrow. But these deadbeats (some of which sell drugs or enter other illega persuasions for free nontaxed money..) shame on them.
Sorry if I upset anyone; this is just something I need to get out, because it is festering inside of me.

I think the only person you would offend is a person practicing fraud. You have every right to be upset, and it bothers me too. But it will catch up to them one day. they're only digging their own grave.

yeah, shady ppl like that will eventually meet up with their own bad karma

Or you can speed up Kharma and give an anonymous tip. I don't see a difference in what she's doing and the people that get thrown in jail for theft and robbery.

I wish I knew where she lived; I don't even know her last name. I can probably wriggle the info out of my friend though..

[Stratusfaction]

Are you positive 100% that she has no disability? Some aren't that noticeable, physically or mentally. You'd be surprised how many people out there have a right to such things.

Preach on! I personally hate giving up money to taxes to help pay for the people around here who could work, but choose to have 8 kids and have the government support them. I am sick of working 40 hours a week and taking 15 hours at school this semester only to have my paychecks missing a good $200 chunk

I don't mind taxes themselves. Without them prices would be much higher. I would rather pay a little extra and give up a little extra every 2 weeks than have to deal with higher prices for goods. Also, taxes help to run stuff for the country. Can you be anti-U.S. growth? I just hate knowing that a portion of that is going to some low life who is too lazy to get a job.

No what bothers me is the fact that I'm docked for Social Security when its going to be non existant by the time I'm ready to use it. Just the attitude of some of the people who use these benefits provided to them; such as welfare. Its meant as a means for aid, not a crutch to stand on for the rest of your life. I'm by no means anti-US growth, but if you see some of the grants and what they go towards you'd be baffled too. I happen to live on long island which is also one of the most expensive places to live, property taxes here are rediculous. I think you took what I said to literal my down with taxes was more of a joke.
