went from being homeless to being in the army [then infamous for taking rejects from the other services] in the early 80s during the Reagan recession which had a huge military build-up, they literally were taking people off the streets, even me.
they took crazy people [like me, who at least "presented well"] and people with criminal records, they would do "waivers" to get these folks [including me] in, they did multiple waivers for me. luckily/thankfully [due to high-enough ASVAB scores] I didn't get sucked immediately into the 11B ["bang bang"] MOS [infantry]. just dumb timing whose short-acting gate I stumbled through. they were most short of hospital operating room technicians, all the Vietnam-era ones were retiring and they needed fresh meat. so that was where they stuck me, qualified or not [definitely NOT in my case ]. I told them I got sick at the sight of blood and they told me I had "the choice of seeing other people's blood or your own." hint hint 
IOW take this MOS or get bumped to 11Bulletstopper [infantry]. I took the hint. one is capable of more than one thinks when one is under duress.

From my experience, most are liberal. It might have something to do with not working, and who supports people who don’t work. (The left).
I lean towards the right, being a hardworking individual. I’d rather clean toilets than be on a benefit, but that’s just who I am.
As an aspie who works, I fail to see how having a financial safety net is a bad thing. That's one Liberal thing I'm definitely in agreement with as I'd rather be able to rest assured my needs are taken care of if I should need extra assistance than not. Sure, that means paying a little more in taxes, but peace of mind costs money, so the opposition to that is one Conservative standpoint that I don't understand. Besides, Conservatives are a bunch of hypocrites who are against stuff like that until they themselves need it, and then they're suddenly thankful for it. Also, they support frivolous spending on things like even more military defense but support cuts to actual practical stuff like infrastructure and even education? WTF?I lean towards the right, being a hardworking individual. I’d rather clean toilets than be on a benefit, but that’s just who I am.
I don’t like the way people abuse benefits. It’s just completely wrong. It should only be an option as a last resort for an average (not sick) person. You get losers here who are too lazy to work, who lie and steal, they’re disgusting.
People will find ways to abuse any system. It's human nature. I don't like it when corporate piss-brains run off with millions of dollars of the company's profits, subsequently screwing over thousands of employees, but that doesn't mean I think capitalism shouldn't exist.

As someone who lives in harsh conditions and is quite happy to go without to save, I think how little effort and sacrifice some people offer society quite embarrassing.
But I’m extremely hard on myself and other people. I’m a very, very hard working, honest and sacrificing person.

Thanks, but I've worked very hard in my life, and that is not negated by the fact I currently only work part time.
Don't make ridiculous as tions about people you know nothing about.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t make any assumptions about you. The people I am talking about, I’m not assuming. I know.
I’m also pretty sure I never said benefits shouldn’t exist.
I also don’t remember saying all people who work part time are lazy.
You’re basically taking what I said and choosing to apply it to yourself.
I’m allowed to be angry at lazy a***holes. You’re allowed to be angry at capatilists.
It doesn’t mean it’s said as an attack on other people posting their opposite opinions.
No, but the implication was fairly clear. Autism is a disability. People who receive benefits due to their autism aren't doing it just because they're "uncomfortable" working.
I've about had it with some folks assuming invisible disabilities are merely a matter of "trying harder" to over-come them.

You're going about this all wrong.
You should brazenly tell them that you're not only receiving SSDI (or whatever) but that you've learned to game the system so that you get like three or four times (or more) than what you actually receive. Find a picture of a new car on google images (or wherever) and post it and thank them for providing their hard earned tax dollars for you to squander. If they are really passionate about their stand on the subject they'll be f*****g enraged.
Just keep playing them like that a little at a time until they go nuts.
Remember; brazenness and arrogance go a long way with an act like this AND if done right it's not legally trolling.
Why do all this you ask?
Answer: Because it's better to piss on thier parade than to let them piss on yours.
