Never mind a cap... how about a cut?

I see people were moaning about the minister this morning saying that no reason exists why the majority of the disabled can't work instead of having a welfare lifestyle, I totally agree. I'm classed as chronically disabled yet I make money from betting, run different websites, and many other things. I know 2 guys in wheelchairs, who have worked all their lives, Steven Hawking manages to work, most disabled people just use it as an excuse. Plenty of work exists for people who just want to sit around all day. I know, I’ve been doing it for years :biggrin:
