I don't know... I think it's the phrase "government teet" that I don't like. I don't ever want to be portrayed as suckling at the government's teet. But yeah, I mean, they hardly give me anything anyways.

That phrase is again just the perverse villainization of the social contract and being a society, and it ultimately only benefits those that want to extract wealth from societies instead of being a member of one.

I'm sorry that it sounds like you've internalized that capitalist aggression meant to keep our citizenry undermining one another instead of lifting one another up. If you're disabled, your society should be judged for failing to give you adequate aid.
