I'm like you, seeing this kind of thing makes me sick. I worked bagging groceries back in the 80's and all the time saw people coming in buying stuff with food stamps. Then they'd pull around in a brand new Caddy to pick them up and then didn't bother to tip us for loading them...they got remembered next time when the bread went to the bottom of the bag, right under the cans.... As far as the disabled part of it, my Mom is 56, in very bad health, and has been told more or less she's living on borrowed time due to the severity of her lung problems. Up until last year she worked nearly all her life, at least part time, til her medical problems forced her to stop. Even then she never once considered taking anything from the government. Now though things have gotten worse, she's tied to an oxygen bottle almost constantly due to a problem with her lungs, along with everything else, and absolutely can't work. With all her problems she's more than qualified for disability coverage to help offset some of the medical stuff the insurance doesn't cover. Problem is she's applied and waited and waited and waited and waited and so far they haven't done anything to help. It's a shame when someone who works all their life and then has problems like this can't get the benifits they need and deserve because of all the other sorry a--holes out there taking what they don't need....Just my .02
