Broadly speaking, you probably agree with the large majority of the views commonly attributed to whichever group you identify with - what are the exceptions? Something that if you mention without a caveat immediately makes people jump to conclusions or even attack you?

I'm not talking about disability because of true disability (which the money is quite low to be honest). I'm talking about every child has adhd and is receiving $800/mo.

My other issue with government dependence is this. What happens when your government is corrupt and halts your benefits or ties your benefits to obedience?

And to be honest, there is a bunch of welfare fraud. Mostly white conservatives are the ones who abuse them but want to gate keep.

Your problem is with the medical community, if what you're saying is true and not just a right wing talking point. If someone's too fucked up to work, it's my privilege and my pleasure to pay the fourteen cents a month or whatever to make sure they can still feed themselves. It's the human thing to do.

Not sure where you're getting your information but this happens all the time and people are negatively affected by it in various tragic and inhumane ways. I'm not sure what you expect people to do though.

But there isn't.
