DRAINS ON SOCIETY?

Speaking to a right-wing conference, Rep. Cresent Hardy said that people with disabilities are drains on society. This is what he said: “I have three children,” Hardy explains. “One of them is summa cum laude and two were magnum cum laude. The other one, he didn’t need an education. He works for Raytheon, smarter than all the rest. He works hard, he builds things that are genius. Some people have that ability.”
“But they all work hard. They are raising their own families,” he continued. “They will not be a drain on society, the best they can. Hopefully they will never have some disability that causes them to have to utilize that.”
Typical right wing attitude. My precious darlings are okay. Why can’t you all be? Same as I got mine…now you get yours. But let me step on your hands as you try to move up the ladder. He'll change his tune when "one of his own" gets afflicted. But until then he'll remain a smug self righteous blowhard that passes for a Congressman today.
By the way, here are a few famous "drains on society" you might recognize.
