Well said. The dole should exist for those incapable of helping themselves and as a temporary helping hand for people who hit temporary bad times. It has become an unfortunate way of life for people who've figured out the system and exploit it such that they can exist without lifting a finger of their own. This is not right, not fair, not just. Anyone -anyone- in America (with the exception of invalids and a select few others) can make their own successes with nothing more than a minimal work ethic and the desire to do so. Those that choose not to warrant no pity from me.
