Hello Tess,
I saw that you took an interest in me on DU. Considering that you do not know the circumstances of my personal medical situation, I feel obligated to respond. I have been classified as unemployable and I have multiple medical conditions that have kept me from returning the workforce.
I realize that you believe that everyone should pull themselves up by their own boot straps and work. I was employed from the time I graduated from college, made significant contributions to society and paid my share of taxes, even when I could have been classified as disabled. I also paid a significant of FICA taxes while I was employed which means that I qualify for disability insurance benefits. While I would prefer not to live in near-poverty on disability income I also realize that it is unlikely that I will ever return to full-time employment even though I wish it could happen.
To have someone like you criticize me when you have no knowledge of my situation (or disabilities) indicates that you are presumptuous at best. However, instead of calling you names like you did to me, I will be polite and ask you to mind your own business.
Have a wonderful day in your conservative cave,
Texas Towelie from DU.
BTW, I did not care for you insulting my sister who has two college degrees. It says much about your character (or lack thereof) that you have to insult others.
Frank is a nice guy...I am not.
The disability gravy train is the scam of choice for DUmmies and parasites who are too lazy to work.
The allure of free money is the opiate of the masses.
I have seen DUmmies come over here with the same argument. The bottom line is always the same, when a job is offered-even a guaranteed one- the DUmmy will always find an excuse to turn it down.
It is for that reason, I feel free to call you a shiftless lazy bum. I don't believe you when you say you are somehow disabled. At 8 thousand posts, you can sit and type for hours. You can certainly find another forum that laughs at yet another parasite seeking to suck the blood of tax payers. Most jobs involve sitting and typing-something you do all the time.
You are a tick on the ass of hard working people.
You are a liar with your disability claims.
and you are arrogant, demanding people take you at your word, when you refuse to type a single sentence telling why you are unable to work-either here or at DU.
to sum up...you are an asshole.
I work for a living.
You won't. That makes me better than you.
BS given for refusing to even say why you are disabled. liar.
