Not the best example ...but close. All of us have paid FICA TAX for years, which our EMPLOYER MATCHED. So, it is not governments money...but they are holding it. GOVERNMENT ISN'T 'GIVING' us anything. SOCIAL SECURITY IS INCOME TO GOVERNMENT. Now..they changed things and MEDICAID...WELFARE...is taken from S.S.
@Legal American
@Cyber Liberty@mystery-ak @Sanguine @bigheadfred @roamer_1@rangerrebew I did Interviews/Psychological Testing for the Social Security Administration to determine whether or not a person got Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI or SSD). The person had to bring me their medications. I got their medical history. The testing itself lasted four hours so the person was with me about 6 hours. My reports were about 12 pages, single spaced. Depending on that report, the person got SSDI or not. I was determining how the rest of that person's life would be.
The people I interviewed/tested could not work due to their disability. If you had been with me, I know you would have agreed with me they could not work. If you want examples, PM me. Some of these people had worked but due to what happened to them medically, they could no longer work. These people who could no longer work, did not want to be there; they would rather work but they could not. I tested one person who was capable of working and I recommended to Social Security that person should not get SSDI. I found out later, that person had already been turned down one time.
Earlier in our history, churches helped care for such people. Really long ago, when I was young, there were "Poor Farms" where people could live and help grow crops to eat. The people I tested would not be able to work, they would have to live there, eating by the work of others.
Sincerely, what is the answer, Legal American? How do we care for these people who would have nothing if there was not Social Security Disability Insurance? I think Jesus gave us the answer why we should care, now we have to put it in practice some way:
The Greatest Commandment
From the book of Mark: Jesus said: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.â€
"Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD or SSDI) is a payroll tax-funded, federal insurance program of the United States government. It is managed by the Social Security Administration and is designed to provide income supplements to people who are physically restricted in their ability to be employed because of a notable disability, usually a physical disability. SSDI can be supplied on either a temporary or permanent basis, usually directly correlated to whether the person's disability is temporary or permanent."
