    I will forgive people who were previously had a low enough income to have benefits that magically disappeared completely at a certain threshold when they received a raise for assuming that making too much money could be a negative. They generally never made enough to understand how tax brackets work and assumed the worst.

    If it is explained to them and they refuse to learn, that is on them.

      Yes, that is something that really sucks.

      Here in Ontario disability gets clawed back as soon as you stop making poverty wages, it’s disgusting.
