After high school and trade school I worked full time and held part time jobs at the same time until I was 54 years of age and was hardly able to walk do to illness and had came down with Poly Neuropathy, Carpal Tunnel syndrome and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I worked my ass off for years sir. I paid taxes and part of the money I paid in went towards Social Security benefits Which I am now drawing.
I have a cousin who was badly injured in an auto accident and left blind and is hardly able to walk today and suffers with a brain injury.
I set back here and read things that others post about the disabled and it make me sick. I do feel that there is a lot of folks that should not be drawing these benefits. But there is a lot of us who do. I loved my job and miss it daily.
I am thinkful for you and all others who have served and are serving in our militery.
Now if you want to see a bunch of undeserving folks draw something just look at our illeagals. Those are the folks who are driving up our medical cost. We need to put a cap on our budget, stop sending our money over seas and start cutting waste here at home while sealing off our boarders and send the illegles back where they belong. We need changes in our government. Both parties have become courpted.
Pissed!
