Yep.

Don’t work: Go poor.

Work: Gov gives enough of your money away to lazy slob criminals that you live a less comfortable life than them.

I say: apply for all the entitlements you can, everyone should. Bury entitlements by consuming them all. Let all the money run out. Screw it. Entitlements won’t change until they are completely broke. The gov is never going to stop giving our money away to unproductive, lazy americans. So take it back.
