People that really need these benefits NEED Them.. I CAN NOT stand these assholes that do fraud because it hurts the people needing them the most.

And they should get those benefits from money in the Social Security DISABILITY Trust Fund. They should NOT get those funds from money in the Social Security RETIREMENT Trust Fund. That money is already promised to those who had it withheld from their paychecks.
The DISABILITY trust fund is way over budget and prone to fraud. Something needs done.
Maybe the money should come from a reduced military budget, a national 1% sales tax, etc. But bankrupting the RETIREMENT fund isn't the way to go.
The discussion should be how to properly/fairly help those truly disabled. Anyone wishing to bankrupt the RETIREMENT fund isn't looking at the big picture but just just playing politics.
People like the OP who think it's ok not to pay taxes really shouldn't have an opinion at all when discussing the distribution of tax monies.
