       Behind the "getting people back to work" lie Victorian concepts of the lazy and workshy, and some nebulous belief in the virtue of working. The disabled just have to "try harder", as though most aren't trying far harder than the able already. "Notions of willpower are easily stigmatizing: It becomes OK to dismantle social safety nets if poverty is a problem of financial discipline, or if health is one of personal discipline." https://us7.campaign-archive.com/?e=d871214179&u=9e5957c81cac843c342446e34&id=49b6b50688
