Social Security: Are the requirements fair?

Tweet

I know several people on social security, and a few that should be but still work. Of the people who are on social security, and are not retirement age, most of them are not really disabled. They just pretend or act the part to get the free money so they never have to work! One such person had a stroke once but still has complete control of his body, mind and speack. Unless he told you he had had a stroke, you'd never know. He loves his social security. As he has kids and his wife is deceased, he gets a pretty good size check which he uses to support his and his kid's drug addiction. Another person on social security does not have any true disability. He gets his checks because he has been declared "legally stupid!" He does have a slight learning disability but just never tries and was so spoiled he never has had to. It's not that he can't learn, it's that he's never had to. He has had jobs but he does dumb things on purpose like when working in a shipping department he would send inappropriate items in the boxes like the office stapler, a bannana peel, anything he could get his hands on because it was just hillarious. He got fired from every job he worked very quickly because he would do stupid thinks like this. Why should part of M-Y paycheck go to pay for him being a dumb a$$! Then, there was a coworker whom had had several strokes. She couldn't get social security and wasn't at retirement age yet. She was disabled. She had speech difficulties, had problems remembering things and concentrating on tasks, could barely use her hands, and had to shuffle as one of her legs kind of drug behind her. I admit, I was irritated with her at times for being slow at checkout but feel bad about that now. I just can't believe that "The Liar" and "Mr. Leagally Stupid" are getting money for not working when they really can, while "Stoke Woman" is struggling to keep working and can't get it.
