***Choices are far too vague? Isn't that where the action of debate could help broaden the choices? Sorry I didn't give you more than the obligartory two choices of No and Yes. I'm surprised that you couldn't devise an option of your own to add to the debate. Captain's generally have the knack to inspire and lead. Please don't let us down. Every poll or post I put here is presented with a personal feeling toward the issue. Sorry if my posts don't live up to your standards. There are other postings from less controversial politicos that you could feel more satisfaction with...I'm sure. Please don't feel the need to disrupt any or all of my postings. This post will surely survive without you.
You know, kid, in the past I've actually enjoyed debating you (no one shoot me). No matter how wrong I thought you were, or how wrong you
were, one things stood pat: you were consistent. Always made for interesting debate. Now, however, the true hypocrite in you is exposed for everyone to see. You are stealing money from other Americans. The money that each of us puts into the fund, every month, is to go to those that acutally
need it. I have read, extensively, the guidelines around obtaining disability benefits, and I can tell you, without question, what you are doing is
illegal, and hypocritical to the American values that you claim to have. It will be impossible to take any tenet you stand for seriously, as you have completely dismantled any integrity you may have had.
Let me give you an example of integrity. My brother, whom I take care of, has a disability similar to yours, for which he receives Social Security. He works part time at a very low paying job, making less money then is the limit that Social Security sets in order to receive benefits. He works primarily for socialization and so his emotional disability doesn't become worse. A month ago, his supervisor, unbenownst to my brother, scheduled him for many hours of holiday pay. By the time he found out, he already had the money in his account (direct deposit). This put him over the limit for the month. After we talked about it, he called Social Security, alerted them, and they told him, that though it wasn't his error,
he wouldn't receive his Social Security check for the month. He expected this to happen. He felt (as I did) that he did the right thing to not take money dishonestly.
And I will not add options to your poll. Your poll is a poor attempt to do damage control to your integrity.
I believe that it is un-American to steal from the government and both chastize others for doing the same thing, and, also, claim to support the government at the same time. I will leave others to debate this point further, and noticing from this thread, others are doing just fine. I will say, however, it is
absolutely hypocritical to steal from the government and both chastize others for doing the same thing, and, also, claim to support the government at the same time. This is what you do and how you've lost your credibility.
