Been away awhile. Turns out a lot of leftists from DU, Youtube and elsewhere have come on my website to start accusing me of things I never said or meant. Gotta love public school curriculum.
With Obama and the Dems taking control, I thought I should bring up an important topic, private property rights and how Democrats plan to use the SSI program in Social security to strip Americans of their assets, homes and even their jobs.
The SSI or Supplemental Security Program was started by Richard Nixon in 1974 to federalize welfare. The SSI program was administered by Social security but the money came out of the general treasury. Originally it was for people who were severely disabled, blind, elderly, and in need. Over the years it has become far more easier for anyone to receive SSI. Simply for having any mild impairment or diagnoses of any "disorder," it is possible to get on. Up until welfare reform in the 90s, even people with a history of substance abuse could qualify. Simply dope up and you re on your way!
The Heritage foundation has described the program up till that time as a black hole. Most who received SSI assistance were perfectly capable of working at very good jobs. In other cases, it has been found that psychiatrists and government workers have been aiding able bodied and minded individuals to get on the program by making up different diagnoses. The American Psychiatry association also has its fingers in the honey pot. Why do you think they make up all these different disorders?
But Getting back on track here, just how will SSI be used to defraud and cast millions into poverty? You see the SSI program has a catch. To qualify, you cannot own money or property worth more than $2000. For married couples, its $3000. That does not include cars, appliances and other items someone might own. People must spend down their assets and sell off or give away their property. What is tragic is that on some occasions they are coerced by family members, the government or public guardians at a loss to the beneficiary. What is even MORE TRAGIC, is that many in the end don't even qualify still and are cast into homelessness.
The level of people being thrown into poverty through confiscation of property and assets has slowly risen. Mary Howe, an elderly woman was one of these victims. Her legal guardian incarcerated her in an institution in Cambria California. She was held there for a year till her assets were spent down. Afterwords she was thrown into the streets. Greg used to have a good job, an apartment and money to spend. His abusive father forced him to go on SSI. He had a history of being abusive. He told Greg he was stupid, had no social skills and that he was an idiot. He also blamed his son for his being raped and abused in public school. He was coerced to go to a doctor who diagnosed him with Asperger's syndrome, a form of Autism that includes inability to communicate, failure to socialise and recognize facial expressions. Greg shared none of those characteristics but according to the DSM-IV, the bible of psychiatric disorders, his past history of being ostracized in school was enough of a criteria. The abuse took its toll on Greg. He lost his job, his father succeeded in getting rid of his assets. But in the end he did not qualify for SSI yet and wound up homeless on LA's skid row for 6 months. He currently lives in Lynwood and his life quality has deteriorated since the incident. He has never recovered financially or emotionally.
Emily was another victim. Since her childhood she has fought hard to overcome her shortcomings and adversity growing up in Chicago's south side. Her father died at the age of 11 and she suffered from Attention deficit disorder, depression and borderline personality disorder. When she was 13, her uncle sexually abused her. At a public school in Chicago Illinois she was denied help with her school work and forced to work harder to keep up. She barely graduated. School doctors diagnosed her and recommended to her mother to apply for SSI. Around the age of 21, she learned she would inherit money from her dead father to go to college. Her mother instead kept the money for herself and applied as rep payee. Emily saw hardly a dime of the money, SSI or inheritance. Emily's mother spent the money on illegal drugs and became an addict. Emily had difficulty finding a job since she had no experience working and her learning disabilities got in the way as well.
Emily wanted to press charges but her boyfriend threatened to murder her if she went to the police. Emily ran away to live in Des Moines Iowa. She wound up homeless there for several months. Her Mother was later arrested for prostitution. Social security found out that she had spent nearly all the money from SSI and her father. They were unable to recover it. Emily was given a rep payee based in Des Moines but this payee abused the funds as well. At first Emily got an apartment but the Payee was delinquent and refused to pay her any money for rent or food. Even her Case worker couldn't help her. Social security also gave her a cold shoulder and refused to help. She later became homeless again and moved to Omaha. Still no one wanted to help her and she later commit suicide.
Just in case you think this can't happen to you dear reader, think again! Hillary Clinton has advocated using SSI to confiscate wealth. Barack Obama may even share the same disposition. Clinton said that we need to take things away from you for the greater good. Barack Obama says lets spread the wealth around. What better way to do it than with SSI and legal guardianship. The motto after all is, Isolate, medicate, take away the estate. Its a dream come true for socialist Democrats all around America. Now that Obama and the Dems are taking over they will probably do everything in their power to force ordinary Americans into the black hole of SSI and strip them of everything they own.
America does not help its poor and weak. It only helps the lazy and degenerate who being pampered become a curse for all. Welfare, social security, SSI, Big government, it is a reflection of our loss of morality which has lead to the loss of our freedom.

For the love of me, what the hell do these idiots want to accomplish? Don't they know that by limiting their assets and income that they wont pay into the system? How are we supposed to shoulder the burden if everyone keeps having the government take things away from them including their jobs!!
First of all, linking to supporting information would be helpful. You make no mention of when thses supposed abuses took place. Secondly, you make the typical mistakes of a partisan hack, you make assumptions on facts not there and future events that have not happened. In other words this opinion without evidence to back up your claims is garbage.
One could assume I guess though that it was Republicans in the first place who wanted to strip these poor souls of their properties, etc. As it was Richard Nixon who pushed it through in the first place. And did the draining of peoples net worth stop while Republicans held the reins in both the White House and Congress?
Answer these questions and mybe you might have a case. Blame for this stupidity is shared by Republican and Democrat alike.
They took place at least 5 to 7 years ago. I used to work for a civil rights group. I just mentioned the first name.
You want to see somthing like this, just google up guardian abuse and see what happens when liberals give absolute power to someone and violate individualism.
BTW, these people are called RINOS for a reason, Republican in name only. Speaking of which, why don't you tell us about why you Democrats were against civil rights fifty years ago while we republicans stood with MLK and the rest?
I am not a Democrat. I am not a Republican. I have issues with both of them. The Democrats of 50 years ago have become the Republicans of today. Or did you not pay attention when they bailed from the Democratic Party back when Reagan was running and threw their support his way. The movement actually began in earnest before that though. The day LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act, many southern Democrats began to rethink their party affilation. Reagan finished off the migration.
RINO- yeah, mighty convenient to have a built in party excuse for the mistakes made by people who carry the same card you do. I never hear Democrats complain about DINOs. Why is that? If I were asked this, I would say it is because Republicans have one very nasty character flaw. They never want to admit they make mistakes. Everything that ails this country is the Democrats and Liberals fault.

I don't see anything wrong with this. These people who are eligible for SSI are usually not gainfully employed or skilled. Their potential is not so good. They need to spend down their assets so that they can qualify to earn money to live. Its not enough to make someone rich but it is enough to meet basic needs. The money they have will be gone anyway overtime.
That money should be spent or used for the greater good. In this economy it is best for everyone if it was spent. It might not seem fair but thats life. It was not meant to be fair.
In other words, property is theft. That kind of thinking is why these people remain poor.
RINO is an accurate term for Bush McSame as Bush and Obama and the rest. A republican who would support this garbage is like a Christian who worships satan, a jew who eats pork or a Muslim who doesn't rape or beat his wife and is tolerant of other beliefs.
BTW to the person who said he supported SSI, thanks for proving I was right. You can get the hell off my forum now.

Have you even been watching the news lately? Our economy is going to hell! Those jobs that are being lost are tax payer jobs that pay into that. How do you make money if you have no job OR SSI? Your up shit creek without a paddle then! Why should I work hardern so someone capable doesn't work?
Its not enough to make someone rich but it is enough to meet basic needs. The money they have will be gone anyway overtime.
SSI in most cases does not pay enough to pay bills! Anyways did you even read the article! The guy was working full time and lost his job cause his dipshit liberal dad made him go on SSI! He makes less money now and if that goes away he might not have anything!
That money should be spent or used for the greater good. In this economy it is best for everyone if it was spent.
In other words from each according to his own ability? Stalin and Hitler would be proud!

I wonder how you would feel if those negative stereotypes you commies believe about conservatives were real, and we were in charge and you went to a labor camp for being a liberal? (and a moron to boot.)Oh well! That's life I guess!
Leave it to liberals to screw up everything and everyone!
The Supplemental Security Program (SSI) gives benefit to people who are suffering substance abuse or addiction. They too can avail the program because it is a fact that some of them have fallen victim to drugs or alcohol, and needs immediate medical help. The program is a way for them to start a new beginning in their lives.
