Living with your parents is paid for by the taxpayers? I wish I'd known ... our son is living with us.
People have bent themselves enough in their job search. Get rid of the fraud and abuse relating to noncitizen labor - then one can talk about laziness.
Amen! ... with one quibble - the H-1B noncitizen labor program is not hurting working Americans through "fraud and abuse" but by design:
H-1B Is Designed to Allow Employers to Replace Americans with Cheap Foreign Workers
H-1B Is Designed to Allow Employers to Pay Foreign Workers Extremely Low Wages
Sure, if you consider students, retired people and others who aren't looking for work "unemployed".
I misspoke on that one. What I meant is that other people, who are taxpayers, are supporting you to some extent. I guess I missed the target, or just had too much wine.
LOL! No problem.
Living with relatives or friends is different in kind from living off the taxpayer, because in the former case if you're a leeching layabout you can be kicked to the curb whereas Uncle Sugar will keep sending those checks.
Until then, people need to play on the field that's available - and in fact, that many of them have chosen with their votes.
I don't like a lot of what corporations are doing, its shortsighted and in many cases unethical if not illegal. But, they're just doing what corporations do, making money by using the system that's put in place by the government we've elected. Until the system, or the government, changes, they'll continue on.
Trump cleaning up illegal immigration would be a start.
I think you missed the point of my comment. Uncle Obama is taking care of them. I have fallen on my ass more times than I care to count, family has helped me back up. I get it.
It’s those that live off Uncle sam that have no intention of getting back to work that I have a problem with.
I *highly* doubt that is you.
If food stamps was run like WIC I bet they would be more likely to take a job that they may think is below their pay grade..
I’ll scrub toilets so my family can eat..
How many currently on food stamps do you think would do that?
The numbers will snap back to reality just as soon as a republican president is in the white house. and they will of course blame them.
