If someone knowingly able to work substantial employment is on SSI they are committing fraud and do not represent even half the people on SSI.


Conservatives use paranoia as the basis of their reasoning and won't hear facts-I've been trying to tell them for a long time that scammers are not the majority of SSI recipients yet they insist it is.

Oh yes and remember people also buy cigarettes and beer with food stamps, because the payment will totally go through for items like that. :roll: I don't think people who say that understand how it works.

There's a saying... a government powerful enough to give you everything is powerful enough to take it all away.

I think there should be a balance though. Much of these programs are created because of abuses by the corporate world, the rich not taking care of the poor or the workers when they had obligations to. Perfect capitalism always consists of giant businesses and monopolies/oligopolies and are usually ruled by an oliarchy. On the other hand perfect socialism would be a world where all gets paid the same, but no one wants to work (why work if you get paid regardless if you worked?), and therefore the government must force people to work. In the case of economics the middle road is often the best.
