A friend of mine, who injured his left side, (hand, arm, leg, and 4 broken ribs), recently lost his job. He lost his job, because he was unable to go to work, after trying to unload something heavy off of a trailer, and got crushed pretty good.

Not an 'on the job' injury.....His job said 'fuck ya, can't help ya, cya'. End of story.

He will have almost a year to recover. He can't draw unemployment, because you must be ABLE to work.......he's not.

He's simply screwed. Here's where it gets WORSE. After 2 months in the hospital, with no money coming IN.......his child support got behind. 2 kids, a slut of an ex wife......They send him a letter.......then summon him to court.

The judge says basically "tough shit you deadbeat bastard, you pay up, or you go to jail.....I don't CARE if you can't afford it!!".

Pretty fucked up.......yes?

IMO, it is.

Meanwhile, 49.5% of Americans, pay NO taxes. And we dare not label them 'deadbeats'......they are the 'struggling'.

No one will cut my buddy any slack.....and no one will dare point a finger at the 'broke' people, who get MORE from the tax system, than they've ever paid in. Year after year.

I can hear it now; the argument against taxing those who pay nothing is that they can’t afford it. Has there been a single deadbeat dad in the history of deadbeatery who has not made that very same argument to the court when it was time to set his child support? And has a single one of them ever won it? Never. Everybody has to pay something.

But but but, the RICH benefit from roads and schools and police and stuff......they SHOULD have to pay. And the 'poor' benefit from those same roads schools and police.....but they should NOT have to pay?

I wonder why liberals aren't out defending dead beat dads?

To quote Tim Nerenz Fair is not when half of us pay a lot for what all of us benefit from; fair is when all of us pay a little so that a limited government can do the few things we cannot do for ourselves. .......

Was he working under the table? Did he seek legal representation?

[avaiguite]

BTW, a percentage is a percentage. It doesn't matter what the product is. It's a mathematical law.

[herawaq]

Was he working under the table? Did he seek legal representation?

Nah.....he was unloading a car for a friend....it wasn't work related. It was his own trailer even.....there's no one to sue here.

It fucked his shit up...His mom called me, they didn't think he'd make it.

I wonder why we scream so much about people not paying support to ex's.......yet give the majority of freeloaders in the US a free pass?

Is it because we as a society KNOW that women (who retain custody 90% of the time), can't survive without a man's money?

I mean what gives here?

They can drag your kids wherever they want.

Even if it's been biologically proven that you're not the father, you still have to pay child support after 2 years in California. Why? Because women are whores and the children mustn't suffer for it. This is a bad thing. No, a good thing. No, a bad thing. No...

However...let some guy that just got crushed, miss a couple payments to the bitch....and the state goes after him hard.

It's a wonderful example of hypocrisy.

[Mello]

Shouldn't striking down any and all child support laws be a liberal talking point?

It fits right in with the rest of their pointless points.

That shit sucks the BIG ONE. Too!
Just why in the hell should a man pay for a kid that's NOT theirs?

Because people vote in laws to cause such things.

Meanwhile those same people don't pay their share.

Weird stuff.

He can apply for social security, and if his disability is as bad as it sounds,
he should be approved for at least three years,
when his case will be reviewed.

My hubby broke his wrist and knee falling off a ladder at my folks ranch,
checking a diesel fuel tank up on a tower,
applied for SSD and was approved for 7 years, I think.
They do the reviews at 3, 5 or 7 years, depending on the extent of the disability.

He WILL have to wait half of forever,
and jump through hoops,
but if he's approved, the payments become retroactive,
and he'll be reimbursed for the months he had to wait.

Did he not subscribe to the short / long term disability insurance through his employment?
If he did, they should cover at least 60% of his salary/average earnings,
regardless of whether the injury was work-related.

I wish him the best of luck, and sure hope he has folks that can afford to "invest" in him.

It's so easy to tell others how they can spend their money, isn't it?
As a general rule I think we need LESS LAWS-not more.
Do away with, say 70% of the laws we have on the books now and enforce the ones we have left.
Keep it simple.

It's not hypocricy. It's a man's world. It's a man's, man's, man's, man's world....even when it isn't anymore.

I agree. The amount of legislation is absurd, but they think they're doing their jobs. 'Look, I helped pass this or that.'

If you don't get hurt on the job, tough shit. That's falls on your own private insurance.

Who else will but tax payers?

And that says alot about many men, as well.

Excuse me,

but I'm LIVING IT,

and not only IS my hubby drawing on it,

I also did during the time I was covered,

for an illness that had nothing to do with my employment.

Short and/or Long Term Disability insurance pays you at least 60% of your salary/average earnings

for (I think) at least 2 years,

and with some, like the company my husband's policy is with,

until retirement age.

[Promotiona]

And you can ONLY buy this type of insurance THROUGH YOUR EMPLOYER.
