FW: Re: [QUAD-L] Engagement/waiver

Wow Brien, what a rant! I know what you are saying, though. I daresay that 
80% of people drawing disability are not as disabled as the members of this 
list. And I know personally a gal who uses her 15 yr old son's check to pay 
the rent. The son is supposedly mildly retarded. He draws $600 a month..for 
what? I'm not so bright myself. I think I'll apply.

There are soooooooooooo many people sucking off the tits of the welfare 
system that don't deserve it  and are just as capable as the people that 
decide and disperse the money.  The bureaucrats have got to look for any 
possible way of cutting disbursements!

Look around you and you see 1000's +++ who are perfectly capable of 
working.  I know of families, for example, Hmong refugees that have been 
here since the 70''s who are still getting section 8 housing, medicaid, 
food stamps, AFDC, WIC coupons, etc., and, here is an  interesting one, 
find something that is medically wrong with your kid and they will give 
you, for example, $400.00 more.  No, they won't figure out a system to 
reimburse you for direct expenses the kid costs you, they will just GIVE 
you some outrageous amount of money.  Want more, unlike most of us who have 
been catastrophically injured and, in  many cases, were earning $ and 
paying taxes the day we were injured, the aforementioned people never added 
and may never add milk into those dried up tits

Now,  the big thing is anchor babies, mainly from Mexico but also from 
other countries.  Again, sucking off those same dry, shriveled up tits.  
But, they are nothing  new, they are just newsy.  If anything, they are a 
temporary distraction from some other tit suckers.  There are no advocates 
out there working hard to ensure that there  are special resource programs 
for people who were one time major taxpayers like me, but can no longer 
work.  The entitlement system does not discriminate whether you were a 
college educated, well intentioned, useful part of the american way of 
life, or a constantly pregnant Hmong refugee or a useless, law breaking, 
illegal mexican spitting out anchor babies.

The case worker who comes to your home has the same guidelines and, if you 
live in a beautiful home full of beautiful things, better hope you don't 
get an affirmative action hiree, who sees that "life looks pretty nice in 
this home already".  The beautiful home thing will come crashing down some 
day soon.  If you live in a $ million home but are a c-5 who can barely 
talk any longer, just wait until they decide that you ought to spend down 
about $800,000 of your home's value before you get any money.

My social worker was very gracious, she said "don't get married or say that 
your girlfriend even lives here, because if you do, I will not be able to 
give you as many benefits."

If it sounds like this writer is bitter, he's not.  He's just  enlightened 
and is sick and tired of the government  taking from the haves or,  in my 
case, once had, and giving it to the have nots, and often never will haves! 
 The middle class and the working poor, as usual, suffer the most here in 
USA, but, we have one thing they can never take; our dignity and our pride.

Happynewyear,
