A mother and daughter who get £34,000 a year in handouts because they are too fat to work say they’d rather be happy and on benefits than depressed and thin. Janice and Amber Manzur weigh a total of 43 stone and are so overweight they have to use mobility scooters to get around.

But both women refuse to diet and mother-of-two Ms Manzur, 44, insists: “I’d rather my daughter live life on benefits being fat and happy than depressed and thin.” Ms Manzur lives in a three-bedroom house that has been customised by the council to accommodate her disability and drives a Fiat Quibo disability car worth around £15,000.

Ms Manzur said: “There’s no point in dieting, it doesn’t make a difference. I’ve always been big and I’m too fat to work, so I have a genuine disability. I should be miserable but I’m happy. I know this is the way I’m meant to be.”

Rand Paul accuses most recipients of Social Security disability payments of “gaming the system” and calls them “malingerers.”

“What I tell people is, if you look like me and you hop out of your truck, you shouldn’t be getting a disability check,” the Kentucky senator told New Hampshire voters earlier this week. “You know, over half the people on disability are either anxious or their back hurts. Join the club. Who doesn’t get up a little anxious for work every day and their back hurts? Everybody over 40 has a back pain.”

New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley calls the senator’s comments “insulting,” “way out of nowhere,” and evidence of “detachment from reality.” He continued, “Paul is saying that 50 percent of those on disability are committing fraud.”

The how-dare-you tone underscores the shift in the political winds. The controversy isn’t that our government pays able-bodied people to shirk but that an elected leader says that they should work. Dr. Paul didn’t suggest they should be executed or jailed or publicly shamed for getting paid to watch The People’s Court on their couches and smoke cigarettes on their porches. He wants them to get jobs. “Work” now strangely strikes ears as curse instead of blessing. When did the four-letter word become a four-letter word?

The workingman’s party morphing into the shirking man’s party surely helps explain this phenomenon. Just as a party addicted to playing the role of provider makes a moral crusade of celebrating the immorality of giving preferences to favored minorities, free birth control to single women, and amnesty to illegal aliens, they fiercely defend the unethical conduct of their able-bodied dependents. If they behave the fiercely protective way a mother does when she sees her young ones attacked, that’s because the shirking man’s party sees the relationship between themselves (the providers of goodies) and their dependents in precisely that manner. But adults are not children and it serves society no good to treat them as such.

“I was 24 when I got signed to the UFC,” he reflects. “So, I’m a grown man. I have responsibilities. But yet I have no income and I’m relying on other people for everything. That can drain a man’s mind, as it did mine at times.”

He had earlier tried to moonlight as a fighter while working for a year as a plumber’s apprentice. But not seeing any plumbers wearing UFC hardware around their waists, he eventually declined the regular check to chase his irregular dreams.

And the dole, though it proved soul sucking, at least enabled him to do that. The hard times living on a government check “allowed me to be more grateful for everything I have in my life,” he explains to Breitbart Sports. “I am grateful for everything.”

What he's really going to be grateful for is his new 41% tax bracket...

Method 2

Ever wonder how lowly paid lawmakers leave office filthy rich?

Sen. Dianne Feinstein is showing how it’s done.

The US Postal Service plans to sell 56 buildings — so it can lease space more expensively — and the real estate company of the California senator’s husband, Richard Blum, is set to pocket about $1 billion in commissions.

Blum’s company, CBRE, was selected in March 2011 as the sole real estate agent on sales expected to fetch $19 billion. Most voters didn’t notice that Blum is a member of CBRE’s board and served as chairman from 2001 to 2014.

This feat of federal spousal support was ignored by the media after Feinstein’s office said the senator, whose wealth is pegged at $70 million, had nothing to do with the USPS decisions.

There's going to be a lot of resistance to the change in economic ethics/work ethics as we move into the era of total workplace automaton and humans become superfluous be they hard workers or malingerers. SSDI is one phase of the de facto guaranteed income, at some point to become de jure.
