“Your condescending views are recognized but not appreciated by the unfortunate ones”

Condescending? The Social Security Disability entitlement is as much about government dependency as it is about disability.

So pitying the obvious willing dependency the poster is espousing is condescending? Do you know how loose the definition for “disability” to qualify? We’re not talking catastrophic disability - for whom it is a necessary lifeline. We are talking fraud.

If you can function to the point where you can operate a household - deal with banks and purchase a home, odds are pretty good that you could function in some sort of employment. So I call it like I see it. There is a very good chance the poster - along with most folks on disability these days could function in some sort of job, should they care to get a job. They just don’t want to work for the most part.

So the condescension flows in the other direction. It flows from those who’s sense of entitlement makes them think that somehow they should get an unending cash flow from the taxpayers.

So are you collecting it too? Is that why you have an outsized sense of “gimme, I deserve it”?

No, I am not collecting disability. I am the care giver for my wife who is slowly dying and collecting. Tell me again what "I deserve."

Wow, I am going to refrain from telling you exactly what I think of you...but jack*** sums it up nicely.

This poster cannot run a household or function well enough to do an outside job, or I darn sure would be. I can function well enough to try and downsize my living space so as not to have to depend on others for help and potentially get well enough later that I can work outside. And this functioning has only come in the last year or so and is still not good. I need help with household tasks and getting food, but since I don’t have any help I struggle doing them. I would be doing any employer a disservice were I to attempt to work for them now and they would be able to see that.

And what you said to snipe was a disgrace!
