They are 1 percenters who are 100 percent despicable.
This is really disgusting.


Some wealthy Manhattan moms have figured out a way to cut the long lines at Disney World — by hiring disabled people to pose as family members so they and their kids can jump to the front, The Post has learned.

The “black-market Disney guides” run $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day.

“My daughter waited one minute to get on ‘It’s a Small World’ — the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours,” crowed one mom, who hired a disabled guide through Dream Tours Florida.

Well, the Kenyan carried about 85% of the vote in Manhattan, so they're likely democrats.

This reminds me of the laws that preference "minority-owned" contractors for government projects.
There are thousands of black guys who make a great living just by allowing their name to be put on a company's letterhead.

1. As they say "the rich are different" and disgusting!
We need to tax them NOW, they need to pay their way like the rest of us.

2. As I said elsewhere, if the NY Post says it's sunny, take an umbrella.
Likewise, if they say someone is despicable, they are likely liberals or progressives.
 
Here, a wealthy group of people is handsomely rewarding a person with a disability to perform a function for them. And people here pile on, as if their wealth means they can do nothing right.
 
Can someone explain what is objectionable about this?

The crippled guys get $130 an hour!!
DUmmies on welfare make much less!

5. I remarked in an earlier thread, if my disabled brother could do this and make $130 an hour. . .
we'd be ecstatic for him.

As it is, we use him for this same purpose but we can only afford to buy his ticket and lunch.

So the DUmmy is pissed because someone is paying crippled guys $130 an hour to stand in line.
We need to tax those crippled guys.

6. I'm typically suspicious of the Post, too

If these people are progressives trying to do something "nice" for a poor disabled person, they are missing the mark. If they want to seriously help, give the person a full time job.

They're Manhattan Socialites, translation? they're Democrats!

Being the capitalist pig that I am, I am having a hard time finding fault with this, beyond the potential embarrassment from getting caught and called out.

The 'rented' kid gets room, board, a free trip to Disney, and 130 bucks an hour. I'm even having a hard time labeling this as immoral, as the kid is genuinely handicapped, and if the kid went to Disney with his/her actual family, the kid would be treated exactly the same way.  

This sounds like a pretty lucrative summer job to me.

Where do I sign up?

Velvet and I would love Disney World. Sign us up, too!

If DUmmies really walked the walk, they'd all feel this way. But no, they can only think of how it would inconvenience them in such a scenario. Just goes to show DUmmies are only interested in Numero Uno, no matter what lip service they pay to helping others in general.

The primitives are really upset because the article shows that a handicapped person can contribute to society beyond sitting on their ass and collecting a check from the government.  This makes all the primitives whose life goal it is to sit on their ass and collect disability look even more conspicuous.  

How dare those handicapped people make a living by working for private individuals, when their dignity and vote have already been purchased by the infantalizing government.  

Get back in your chair, cripple, so we can take care of you.  We know what is best.

I was born with the condition of elongated ears.

What's that worth?

Same here. Not crazy about Disney World though.

I'm sorry but this irritates the shit out of me. I have an autistic son and yes we do fast track for him for this place but genuinely because his condition makes it difficult for him to wait for us to go on rides. And I truly doubt the handicapped people are making the money. Their guardians are and most of it probably doesn't even go for their benefit but the guardians. I guess the only argument they could make is they are sponsoring the disabled person for the trip but its all really just double speak for using a disability for convenience:  dummies and their fraud exemplify that behavior as do spoiled socialites who don't dare wait with the common chattel in line. Liberals one and all in both groups.

Ugh damn phone and I'm not going back to correct. Hopefully it's decipherable.
