Don’t confuse people that want to live on the dole with no jobs available.

Keep in mind your point of view agrees with Obama.

The automation myth
http://www.vox.com/2015/7/27/9038829/automation-myth
Robots aren’t taking your jobs— and that’s the problem

President Obama has warned that ATMs and airport check-in kiosks are contributing to high unemployment....

Machines have been replacing humans for hundreds of years. And when it happens to you, it stinks. It stank for small business owners whose photo development shops were driven out of business by digital cameras. It stank for analog graphic designers like my mother who were disemployed by desktop publishing software in the late 1980s. It stank for stevedores who were put out of work by container ships. It stank for weavers put out of work by the spinning jenny. It stank for railroad engineers put out of work by the automobile.

But for society as a whole, these were huge leaps forward. Specific individuals did in fact lose jobs and oftentimes ended up with lower wages. But on average, job growth continued and living standards rose.
