Do you know how much money employers have? A lot more than the rest of society. As long as the capitalists are exploiting us and making all this money off our labor, I think we need to demand everything we can get back in return until we can defeat them. The more value we can get out of our stolen labor, the better.
The "norm" married couple also involves kids....another reason for the health care, ssi thing.
So do lots of unmarried couples. The relationship between the parents isn't what is important. It's the kids.
How could anybody detect fraud. You find out you have 6 months left to live and have some chick with 4 kids move in, should she be entitled to SSI and health care benefits because you said what the fuck?
Well, there aren't too many people who know they have only 6 months left to live, so I wouldn't worry about that particular scenario becoming widespread. And if they were really devoted to committing this fraud under the current rules, I'm sure they could easily arrange a cheap sham wedding. And besides, the only reason people need special "health care benefits" is because capitalism only provides medical service to those who can afford it, which is truly a shame. We have the physical ability to treat everybody's medical conditions the same no matter what class they're in, but poor people die all the time because they were born into poverty and the capitalists in charge think it's okay to deny them medical service because of that.
