Thats when this all comes down, our lazy are being carried on the backs of cheap Chinese labor, and when that ends we are in trouble. Maybe when almost all menial jobs are automated we will be able to just give everyone a minimum of what they need to live, but we are not there yet. In the meantime, Thankfully that 14 year old chinese girl in the sweatshop is working so hard so some lazy American breeder can sit on their azz while flipping between CNN and the Real HouseWives of make Believe complaining that life is not fair.

I agree we do need to quit pretending, we need to quit pretending that alot of these people are not leaches on society. Most of them are able body and can contribute in some way. I am all for people who need help getting help, help for bettering themselves. BUT help should not end up being a career. That is not help that is a handout. Every person in this country is given a chance. You want to to college, guess what the money is available for everyone, no one gets turned down. Almost all of the unions have paid apprenticeship programs. There is as much opportunity in this country currently to better ones self as any other time in human history. The problem is most people feel like they deserve it , that it should be handed to them, and do not want to earn it. And people with half a brain stick up for them..

There are help wanted signs everywhere, businesses are begging for workers, the only reason not to be employed currently is becuase you do not want to be.

So what solution do you propose?
