Disability Sucks

This friggin sucks. At least we made it through the really rough part - being temporarily homeless and living in a hotel.

Now we have the next battle to wage. I have been denied disability benefits after filing for a reconciliation. So, I mean it's not like a surprise. I have read alot about how this porcess works and this is the next step.

The whole system is really screwed up though. A person should not have to go homeless because of anything, especially those with families. So now I have to go get a disability lawyer and fight some more.

TOTAL BULL SH**!!
There has to be soem way to level the playing field for the American worker. Think about it. There is only a small percentage of this countries population that can actually afford to live a normal life. And an even smaller percentage that actually enjoys any luxury.

Why does a person need to be born with a silver spoon in thier mouth to have a decent life. My parents couldn't afford to send me to college to be a doctor or lawyer or anything really. They just didnt have any extra money. After paying all the bills and medical insurance and health insurance and this that and the other, there just was never anything left.

So, like the rest of society; I went out into the world and found a job. You know how it goes, your right out of highschool and you need to make money. Nobody in thier right mind would give anybody with no world experience a job - let alone a career. Unless it happens to be manual labor.

So, I would up as a carpenter. Its actually a really good job. You have to be intelligent, at least with math anyway.

I worked 8 hours a day just like everybody else. Hell, sometimes I worked 12 hours a day 7 days a week. Why? Because at shitty minimum wage, a carpenter has to work longer.

Funny, doctors and lawyers can work to the ripe old age of retirement making a shitload of money and living a comfortable life. Meanwhile the carpenter is always broke and they almost never make it to retirement age because thier backs get so screwed up from the daily torture on thier bodies. So we end up fu*** broke and homeless fighting for disability.

There has to be a better way. Something needs to change. This country needs a revolution.

Don't get me started on the legalized Mafia - you know what I am talking about - Car insurance - if you don't have it becuase you can't afford it you get stuck paying fines through the nose and the rate of your corporate "extorstion" ends up being even more.

Sometimes I think if it wasnt for all the poor people getting fucked out of thier hard earned dollars, this country would go to shit. It's hillarious - almost ironic, that our forefathers came to this country to get away from taxation and we end up being exactly like the country that our forefathers fought so hard to get away from.

The only thing the poor have to look foreward to is disability. What a shitty life. I mean god forbid some poor person gets injured or too old to work. No savings, giant corporations stealing thier retirement. The one system that is in place for some sense of stability is so screwed up that those of us who need it have to go homeless and loose everything we own before we see light at the end of the tunnel.
