This does crack me up though...

I've got a friend, who is on SSDI due to mental and physical health issues. And yes, they are real. I've known this friend for 20 years, they are a good person, but they have serious challenges integrating into society between past trauma and the MH/PH problems.

Her sister often 'borrows'[0] from her food stamps or SSDI income to pay for her own shit. Her sister's husband gets a new car every 1-2 years, charges his wife (the sister) and their daughter rent every month, and votes in a specific way because 'people are scamming away our tax dollars'.

IOW, "You're right but it's curious to look at the people who think that and how they pose"

[0] - Often without properly repaying

Please report this to the attorney general.

The money for those payments is taken from me, from all taxpayers, under threat of violence from the government.
