Plenty of people think they’re already getting more than they need and anyone who says otherwise is just pretending to be ill to get a free ride at the taxpayers’ expense, and could just get a job if they wanted. The right wing press pushes this narrative and people fall for it.

I didn’t read it as the OP expressing their own opinion, but instead sharing what the majority of voters in their area think.
