They want the economy to start kicking ass, they want jobs (yes, many people on "disability" could be working online and making money with no problem), they want to pay their own way.
And I agree 100% with that Republican. He hit the nail on the head. People getting govt. checks become dependant on them and lose any sense of dignity.
Give them an environment where they don't NEED the govt. to hand them money like they are pieces of shit...and they will be happy and have a good life as opposed to being a slave of the govt.
No kane...NOBODY votes against their "best interests".
You just lack the understanding of WHAT people's best interests are.
Their best interest is NOT in getting a hand-out.
Their best interest is a viable economy and hope for the future.

I know a couple of people on disability and trust me, they aren't getting a "hand out".
I struggle everyday to figure out how to pay the next bill but I don't envy them.
I would never trade places with them. One of them got their guts ripped out by a shitty
doctor and could not sue.
Good economy or bad; these people have no possibility of working.
And the reality is, after taxes are divided up by gov programs, my tax burden for all people on disability is probably one of the smallest expenses.
These programs are just "political bait" : event a problem then promise to fix it.
