8. Because they are my friends and neighbors. They didn't hide their efforts from me. I live

in rural Central Texas (closest city being Austin), it is a mostly ranching community. Many are land rich (own several hundred acres) and income poor. They are hard working people and they are not dumb. They know how the system works because it has been done in the area for decades.

Like I said - I am not anti-SSDI but I do think it is an abused system. I also know that most businesses get breaks and ranchers are buried only 2 foot deep so they can stick their hand out for a government check.

Most working people get a paycheck, have their taxes taken out automatically, and many are too proud to even ask for help even if they are entitled.

The reason that it is so hard to qualify these days is because there is so much deceit in the system.
