No, or course you don't. If you did you wouldn't take SSI, you would put your head down and work hard like your dad and climb into the middle class. What is stopping you? I'll tell you what. SSI. Those payments have undercut your will to work hard and make something of yourself. Get off the payments dude! The government is making you lazy and holding you back from your potential! It has happened to lots of victims of these big government programs like SSI. It is really sad to see it happen within a family. The government steals your father's hard earned money. They call it taxes, but it is theft! Then they give it to lazy people like you who won't work hard to earn what your dad earned! Make your dad and all of us proud Brad. Stop taking SSI. You don't need it. Nobody does.
No doubt on the last part. I have a kid and a mortgage. If we get rid of people like Brad sucking at the teat of big government, then the rest of us folks can better provide for our families. Is it on me to pay when some poor sap gets diagnosed with cancer an incurs a shitload of bills and lost time? Hell no. No more than it's on me to pay for the victim of an auto accident that I had no involvement in. It's on him, not you or me to make good on his unfortunate scenario. He needs to get a real job, too. Pretty funny how everyone else is taking advantage of a government program, but when you're benefitting from it, it's a holy exception.
I wouldn't worry if I were him, though. The pressure of the free market will gently encourage him to figure out some way to survive. The only law is natural law, of course.
