Republicans expect the disabled to work

Why do republicans expect disabled people to work? I've known several people who are disabled and could do all the physical and mental portions of a job and even want one but fear losing the live saving medications that they need if they do because the government says they can get if they want but will have to pay for their own medication many of which were extremely costly even before the economy went bad and even if that wasn't the case many employers wouldn't take them anyway because they fear that they are a liability if there as good or better at the work as any of their companies current employees. So how can republicans seriously think that "every" disabled person can get a job and still survive not only physically but also finically, I mean aren't they called disabled for a reason in the first place?
Define "disabled"...

Disabled


Possessing the ability to find one's way to a local Department of Human Services office to convince someone that you deserve to be paid something for doing nothing

Did you learn proper grammar and sentence construction in school?
This>>>>>I've known several people who are disabled and could do all the physical and mental portions of a job and even want one but fear losing the live saving medications that they need if they do because the government says they can get if they want but will have to pay for their own medication many of which were extremely costly even before the economy went bad and even if that wasn't the case many employers wouldn't take them anyway because they fear that they are a liability if there as good or better at the work as any of their companies current employees.<<<<<< Is a sentence that contains no fewer than 100 words.
Wow.. Just wow...
Do you believe that no one is gaming the system?
Are you not aware of the many cases where insurance companies paying out for example, workers comp claims, disability claims, etc have done their own investigations or had contracted with private agencies to investigate potential cases where a person claiming disability have been found to be committing fraud?
Do you believe ALL disabilities no matter how insignificant are grounds for a person to simply drop out of the workforce and collect checks?
 
Please post any link suggesting Republicans believe all disabled people should work. We'll wait.

This is from the experience of my friends and I we spoke to a crowd of people several cities in two different states and than asked what they political affiliation was, republicans by far supported the disabled working I was surprised to learn that even some republicans in my family who knew the situation were for it. Ive also spoken to many online and im not saying they all do ive never met them all but what I can tell through my own experience the vast majority of republicans seem to have the same sentiment, either they want disability cut or they want the disabled to get a job.
OK, this is typical but I can help you.
First, the statement "the disabled should get a job" is not identical to "all disabled people should get a job." To stupid people those similar statements are the same.
Second, the experience of you talking to your friends, or even a "crowd" (hundreds? thousands?) is pretty well irrelevant since they may or may not be Republicans, but certainly do not speak for the Republican Party.

Another typical weak-ass thread by Democrats too stupid to debate.

That may have been so "if" I was a Democrat which for your information my rude friend I am not and saying that all experiences are irrelevant is simply ignorant it is through experience that we learn and I never said I was talking to my friends I say my friends and I spoke to gathered crowds in several cities in two different states and the majority who supported the idea were republican. I did not say all republicans supported it only the majority that I had met in these two states.
You're a Democrat. At least a lib. I can smell it.
I didnt say it was irrelevant. I said it was hardly persuasive. And unless you spoke to every or a majority of Republicans and asked exactly the same question it doesnt mean a whole lot.
And of course you dodged the distinction between "the disabled ought to work" and "all the disabled ought to work".
You understand thsoe are two different things, right?
Dude. You really need to get a life. Close to 46,000 posts to this board in a little over 5 years, LOL. That comes out to about 25 per day, everyday, for the past 5 plus years, LMAO. Seriously dude, you need to pry yourself away from the computer, go outside and take a walk or something.
Yeah. typical response from a lib who doesn't like the facts.
"Hey you can't scuttle a point with facts. Shut up."
Is that how it works on Planet Lefty?

Disability insurance doesn't cover medications.

And if they get a job they would be able to get medical insurance wouldn't they?

And if they can work are they really disabled?

To me disabled means incapable of working.

I agree. Disabled is just that. Disabled.

What a great example of a run-on sentence...

Has to be some kind of record.
 
Most people on disability can and should work and should quit mooching off the taxpayers. If you can ride a motorcycle from north Georgia to Daytona you are not disabled. If you can water ski you are not disabled. If you can walk and talk you are not disabled enough to keep you from working. Disability pay and classification is not a right. Sick and tired of the people that I know that have nothing really wrong with them drawing $1800 a month in social security disability and riding horses on their property next to me. A local guy owns and works a landscaping company and has a disability tag on his truck. Social security disability sends out crazy checks monthly. Anyone can qualify.

My wife's manager works every day, and has a handicapped tag on his truck.

His left leg was left somewhere in Iraq about 20 years ago.

^Another post where the party bias gets clouded with actual information.

I live in a Red State. I know 7-10 families abusing our Welfare system. (They all follow Fox News)

I called the national Fraud Hotline 1-800-424-5454 on my first Cousin that is white.

As it turns out my "voice" is insignificant when a Lawyer and a Doctor double down on a diagnosis. Even more ironically, Lawyers and Doctors are the 1%

I later saw a 20/20 where welfare lawyers make a name by pairing with welfare doctors and diagnose welfare patients. They work for "free".

After the diagnosis the patient gets minimal, the doctor and lawyer get monthly payments.
 
Well they've pretty much used up everyone else like womeeeen, abortion, etc so now they are onto the disabled.

Damn you Republicans are just mean mean mean. How dare you
 
Liberals believe they have a RIGHT to be involved in the everyone's life. And if you don't do things their way you get threads like this one

damn control freaks

scratch a liberal find a fascist

So what exactly are you saying, that it should stop because people who don't need it are abusing it? What about the people who really and truly need it to survive?
