as promised, a thread on #CripTax

I want to talk about a very particular type of Crip Tax. For a more comprehensive idea of the extra costs with being disabled, check out @Imani_Barbarin’s hashtag #TheCostOfBeingDisabled!
Let’s start off with asset caps. Many disabled people live with an asset cap, meaning they cannot own or make a certain amount of money. The most common limit is assets over $2,000.
But it’s also just more expensive for disabled people to exist. Our $2,000 doesn’t mean as much as your $2,000

Why? The most obvious reason is increased medical bills, and insurance not covering things like $800 wheelchairs that people need to navigate the world.
