… my taxes showed that I had made $6,000 from Confederation College and only $2,000 from ODSP. But had I laid in bed all year (as I had the year before when I was too ill to work), I would have made $10,000 from ODSP. Why should people work when they can earn an extra $2,000 just lying in bed? For myself, I loved working, and some things are more valuable than money, like pride and dignity, but it makes no sense to punish those who want to be out there striving.
