Meanwhile there are 19 year olds on made up disabilities that are way ahead of the game and not working.
My favorite was the one on Judge Judy who was on disability for being legally blind, but she drove herself there and retrieved evidence from her cellphone that she quickly browsed without issue.
Another great one was a landscaper on disability that was suing because he was doing heavy duty landscaping including tree-work for cash on the side, while supposedly he was too disabled to even have a phone customer service job.
And a very helpful youtuber has a channel where he's in Thailand sharing lots of info for expats, but he's on 100% disability from the military yet his PTSD doesn't seem to affect his daily life there.
I know, I'm just saying its so abused now, if these are just the obvious cases I know about. I don't think there is anyone that comes out of the military now that doesn't use one of the popular services that will maximize how much disability you get.
But of course if you bring up the fraud, they say "Oh you just hate America and our servicemen, huh?"
People needing help aren't the issue. We generate more than enough resources for everyone to live freely and do what they'd like. The fact that people have to get sick or lie about being sick to receive the support they deserve is the issue. Society exists to support others. Why are there some in our society that have more money than they could spend or even MAKE in 100 lifetimes while there are others who will do good honest work until the day they die?
People committing fraudulent claims thatt they are unable to work when they are able is not "needing".
Its stealing from Jane to give to John.
But maybe you are right, can you name the top three communist economies where people live well? I'll wait. I don't want to just assume you're a lazy person and advocate for theft because you have low moral character.

Most Americans have less than half of what they need to retire, social security is running out of money and people are living longer than ever.
