The underlying principle is the owner of a business should have the freedom to hire or fire whomever he wishes for whatever reason. Those with disabilities shouldn't have to prove their disability but their ability to handle the task at hand.

Delivering the promised goods at the agreed price applies to both owners and employees.

Let some these people who are,it seems, trying to get rid of diability payments to anyone should be placed in a similar situation, letting and insurance adjudicator determine if one cooperative is ludicrous at best, then WHENTHEY DECIDE,not if,an employee is not cooperating he looses his benefits. Why not kill the entire program and let people starve to death on the streets, WITH THEIR INNOCENT FAMILIES. This is outrageous.!!!!
