Why do people not want to work?

[atsah]

People scamming SSDI is a problem but the even bigger problem is the people scamming SSI.. People that never paid a dime in collect SSI and get state healthcare which is complete heathcare and better than Medicare for people that worked all lives.. Makes no sense..

I bet they would also.. I know people that are scamming like crazy, claiming disability, sneaking around during the day and mowing the lawn and doing other daytime tractor work at night with flood lights on, riding motorcycles and chopping wood.. Makes me sick..

Their property's are closed up tighter than a clamshell at low tide until dark..

What kind of people can live like that?

Why is that a surprise? The modern way. Take all you can. Do whatever it takes to get ahead and get more.

I know, the lengths people will go to not to have to go to work is astounding...

People have no conscience or even a sense of shame these days. Sad

All the time though, people come down on the little guy, for shame. While the Politicians, their friends and CEOs make off with Billions (With A 'B") and nobody holds them to account.

If Politicians and ceo's do the wrong things that doesn't make me want to follow suit.. You are who you are and you live accordingly.. All I can say is it's a **** good thing there still are many people with pride and have good work ethic, I see us running out of them at some point..

I know many, but believe that they being in Rural areas, don't have any idea to what extent, they are suckers. They are too busy working and paying taxes to have any idea what is being done with their hard earned money.

Before I retired I went to work every day and not once did I consider myself a sucker for paying taxes, completing a day of quality work and providing for my family just like my grandfather and father did before me.. I didn't care what the feds and state taxes were going to, all I knew is I was doing what I was taught to do, there is no shame is pulling you're own weight..

Absolutely. I agree 100%. What yanked my chain, was when some incompetent was promoted or given a raise based on political loyalty; or when my property taxes went up to build a Taj Mahal High School, or when some redneck Bubba gave me a ticket in a speed trap. There will always be unfairness in all endeavors, and there will always be someone in the family that needs taken care of...either by us, or by the government. It's "unfair", I know, and I assumed that parental support would end one day, but what do I know.
