I think there should be stricter rules that apply for one to collect benefits.
For example, there's a grossly morbidly obese man who hangs around Town Center. He must weigh over 400 lbs. & smokes. Is it fair for someone to disable themself & then have the taxpayers support their lifestyle? I've spoken with him & he collects a sizeable check every month & lives with his parents. He once told me that he could detail my car, for a sizeable amount, of course. If he can do that, couldn't he get a JOB?
I met a very obese lady, also from Kingwood, who is entitled to military benefits because she was once married to a man who had served some time in the military. She was his first wife many years ago & he then married 2 more times. She shows a military ID & is given discounts in restaurants & anywhere true military people are benefitted.
She also has a handicapped placard on her car & parks in the handicapped spaces. She has absolutely no problem ambulating, she's just lazy. Somehow, she's convinced a doctor to approve that handicapped placard.
Does all this seem fair?
Benefits should be for the people who truly need & deserve them. 4951
