Haunted sorry you were hurt at work, I was also a Illegal Immigrant decided to ram my car with his truck numerous times while he was committing another crime, I was out of work for a while and was able to go back, At first I wasn't sure if I would be able to and that is a crappy feeling, I am only in my thirties and I didn't want to just sit around the rest of my life. It'll be a year next month since this has happened and I still feel and deal with the side affects from this and I prob could have stayed out of work longer but I felt I should go back so I did. So I know how people life can change in a blink of a eye, and how if it wasn't for disability there family and them would be in for a rough road, I just don't like when people abuse a system for people that really do need it.
I am a Union delegate for my Job and I see how all these figures figure in to the way we neg contracts, The amount of money that goes to cover welfare and disability is a lot, so that affects the % we get for a raise if we even can get one. Now if everyone was honest and the didn't milk the system we would all be better off, the amount we would save if the people who could work went and got a job and the people on welfare would go get a job or at least vol to help out at local business would really help out. Welfare when I was a kid was a system that allowed you certain foods and helped pay the bills. Now they can buy what ever and they also get a paycheck and there bills paid for. Now if you have rentals properties you are forced to rent out a certain amount of your properties to welfare ( Section 8 housing ) Now of course the landlord jumps the rent also so instead of 4 Hundred for the apt they get 800, more of our tax dollars.
I could go on and on, I have always been a honest guy and it drives me nuts that the honest people have to suffer because of the dis honest and I just seem to deal with these types a people a lot, I don't go to the working mans home often or deal with the working man often, I only deal with the working man when someone like the guy above does something to the working man, Then We deal with him and find drugs a BENEFIT card and a bank account with $20.000 in it.
Haunted sorry you were hurt may you enjoy your next 44 years and I'll be happy to help pay for the honest.
