Disability isn't "oh I feel bad for you, here's some money so you feel better".
It's a capitalist bandaid. In a capitalist system if you don't work, you die. We don't want people to die. So if they can't work, we give them money. So they don't die. It's actually a very simple system so I'm not quite sure how you made it so far in life without grasping it.
For people who CAN'T work, there's no other option. So please, don't even try to suggest other options.
I mean, do you want to scrape bodies off the street? No, right? Okay, then we're on the same page. Thank you for agreeing with me.
Yeah, whatever. Every system has fraud, including in the private sector. I can't remember the last time I saw an ad that didn't pretty much lie.
That doesn't mean we need to fall for the populist messaging of "burn it all down". These are real people, with real lives. We don't need to punish them because you feel some people somewhere may be doing something unfair.
Level up your reasoning. Think about politics critically, not as a team sport. There is no winning, there are only tradeoffs. Think long and hard about what you're asking for, and what the second, third, and fourth order effects of that are.
