I don’t want to work either. Am I a sucker for doing 60+ hour weeks in this new, modern era?

[Paladin2]

It’s past time to go Galt.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

For crying out loud.

People are giving up. We need to bring jobs back to America.

[detective]

Liberals have killed the American work ethic. These people don’t want to contribute anything to society but want others to support them.

Fewer and fewer workers are supporting more and more parasites.

[txrefugee]

That’s a fine kettle of fish, Ollie. No work, plenty benefits, and paying no taxes. Money going out, not coming in. Even stupid Democrats ought to be able to figure out that this is no way to run a country.

2Th 3:10

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

[Petrosius]

For you know how one must imitate us. For we did not act in a disorderly way among you, nor did we eat food received free from anyone. On the contrary, in toil and drudgery, night and day we worked, so as not to burden any of you.d 9 Not that we do not have the right. Rather, we wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us. In fact, when we were with you, we instructed you that if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat. (2 Thess 3:7-10)

BTW, a full time housewife is working.

0bama has has redefined “safety-net” to “mother’s womb”.

Are more likely reason is that the BLS statistics are lies: they want the unemployment rate to appear much lower than it is.

[asinclair]

What is missing from the article is how the people not willing to work manage to survive? How many are living in their parents' basements? How many are getting unemployment benefits? Disability? Other government handouts?

The next set of questions is how many of these people are working in the gray market? The black market? Organized crime? Gangs?

[right way right]

Another world war will probably fix this.

[rdcbn]

How are these people who don't want to work supporting themselves?

Government welfare and fraudulently signing up for Social Security disability payments.

Where is the government getting the money to pay for this largesse to the non working?

By borrowing fifty cents fro every government dollar spent.

Not exactly sustainable

[Presbyterian Reporter]

We have 93 million people that do not want to work.

Obama wants to import millions of additional people presumably to do the work not being done by these 93 million.

How will government pay the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, welfare, food stamps, section 8 housing,and other govt handouts for these millions?

The seeds of our own destruction are being sown!!!!

[Real Cynic No More]

Well, when a person learns that he can live a satisfactory life without working in a job, what fool would actually want to work? Sheesh!

[Lorianne]

Giving up finding a job and not wanting a job are not the same thing. There are people who want to work but have given up trying because they cannot find work.

Most likely many of these people do work, just at unpaid jobs like family caregiver, volunteer work or they work in the undocumented workforce (no not illegals) doing jobs for cash.

Part of the problem is what we count as ‘work’.

[Graybeard58]

I do not have a job.

I do not want a job.

Doesn’t this number (92M Americans not working) include retired people and housewives?
