Versifal, seriously what rock did you come out from under or are you the typical BC Liberal troll. Most people on disability WERE in the labour force at one point as were many on income assistance. They did not chose to find themselves in the position of needing that assistance. You should understand  there but for the grace of god go you or I. 
In the case of disable that happened either via birth, mental health issues, workplace, car or recreational accident. For those on income assistance it could be as simple as downsizing from a company and no other job available readily available. Unless you have walked in their shoes don't criticize. Many DID pay taxes but now find themselves in a position of need. People such as yourself think income assistance = deadbeat! Sad that you have such a narrow minded view, seems to fall right in with the likes of Rich Coleman's narrow minded thinking
