I am writing this to ask a question of non-disabled people.
We are not equal. In the United States of America, the Counstitution gurantees that ALL people will be equal. That means, if you are able to work, in how you are treated, under the law we are supposed to be treated the same. Yet, for the disabled, things are not equal. If you look at the rate of people working and hired, many disabled people are not working. Despite having the skills, the education, the experience we are not hired. Instead, we are forced to live on Social Security to fund ourselves. This means for an average person at the minimum they receive $ 500 a month.
In addition, we are forced to live in run down, dangerous areas. The best areas are, in effect, reserved for you. Subsidized Housing is often drug filled dwellings, in poor, run down areas.
How, if we are American citizens, can we live like this ? Do you realize you have advantages and PRIVLEDGES that we can not ( although we want to) take advantage of ? How do you justify this ?
