Why are there so many freakin' people on Disability that are not really "Disabled"?
How hard does a Wal-Mart people greeter work?(no offense people greeters)
I am saying people that ARE able to work, and am just using the people greeter thing as an example of a job that is not overly demanding physically. All legitimately disabled people are not the point of my question.

Why work when the government will give you free money? It used to be that people felt shame and wouldn't freeload on their fellow taxpayers. Liberalism has removed all shame from bad behaviors so it is now too easy to steal and not care about it.

Hard enough to get paid by way of our tax dollars. Believe it or not, some of those people greeters make over 10 dollars a hour. Hell, come to think of it, my butt is in the wrong profession. A lot of those people greeters are not feeding off of the system. They would rather work and make a living. I actually admire them, not just at Wal-Mart, but at any location. A lot of people can learn from them!

You do not know the cause or extent of their disability. They can be anywhere from 10% to 100% disabled. A person with a 10% rating would only be limited to certain things. As in disabled American veteran,he would only receive a percentage of his earnings and a 100% DAV would receive all of it. There are many disability's that can not be seen on the outside of a persons body,please be a little more kind in your thinking. These men aren't cheating anyone they gave their legs or arms and sometimes their minds to keep America free

Because they can be. The word "disabled" is too broad. There should be stricter guidelines for it. Some people are just too fat and lazy to work and use their "disability" as an excuse. Most of them need to just put down the fork. Those are the people who breed generations of the same and their kids and grandkids suck off the government too sorta like a badge of honor.

Good question. Walmart greeters are responsible for more than just greeting people, they will sometimes be asked to stock shelves clean the doors, etc. With Walmart there are job descriptions but that don't always mean that you will be doing that job............

somehow these people manage to manipulate the system,
drs,social workers,friends,family into thinking they are men-
tally and physically disabled, when in reality they are capable
of being very productive, how they do it? I don't know,but
]they do, and people are legitimately, disabled can't seem
to get any help from anyone or anywhere,being a social
worker, I have seen thi s situation many times, sad but
all too true.

They are called the ostentatious fakin' cripples. What pisses me off is that they park in cripple spaces and then walk right into a health club where they use the treadmill to run a few miles! Hey?! A cripple runs a few miles but is disabled? Nah, somehow they (cripples) have learned the art of stealth-shafting.

I think that people in this country either mooch the system or sue one and other. They are freakin lazy!!
And god, what an easy job to greet people at walmart. But I'm sure they don't make much

you'd be suprised how many people get money that they shouldn't by cheating the system. but to get a disbility allowance u need a certificate from your doctor to clarify your disabled, if your doctor can give u one than he?she must agree that u are sick enough to get it, thats what i reckon anyway. i could be wrong but thats how its supposed to work in Australia
