I prefer having a job and good income but I also know there are nearly 70 million Americans receiving some form of social security income, be it retirement, ssdi, ssi. Republicans have a history of favoring those that work instead of those unable to work.
I don't know how many people on disability would rather work versus how many of them are happy sitting home collecting a check but either way America should take care of our own otherwise we'd be no better than a 3rd world country that lets people starve.
I personally feel that anyone over 70 should be allowed to have the luxury to live out their retirement in peace without having to worry about bills being paid. Of course when we get old and retired, we're not going to want to travel and do many of the things that cost lots of money so the need for money will not be as great but there should be enough of an income to have spending money after bills.
I'm 42 and when I was 16 I was working and when I was 18 I had plenty of money, no worries in life. There were jobs everywhere, sometimes more jobs than people. Now days the average jobs don't even pay enough to cover basic bills so people have roommates or if they're married they can have 2 incomes.
I know many people may not think about disability and social security because it doesn't affect them but you know, my father had an accident on a job, brain damage, ended up being on ssdi for decades because of it. Some people benefit from it and if we just say fuck those millions of people then we're not really America anymore.
