It scares me that we have people who would waste their lives on a crumby couch all day watching TV in poverty or even disable themselves into poverty rather than put an ounce of work into their lives.
The first real job I had, helping a contractor build a house during my summer between Junior and Senior years, I asked the contractor why so many of the men complained about doing their jobs and how hard they were(I and a friend, did all the grunt work, being laborers, so we could understand how hard could the other work be)worked.
The boss told me it was normal for humans to seek the easiest path, particularly those without a good work ethic.
He said if you were to pay a man to come to work and sit under a shade tree all day and do nothing else, it wouldn't be long before he started asking why he couldn't sit under the tree he had at home and be paid for it.
This is the attitude of the guy in this article and it is the attitude of most people on the dole. The easier they have it the easier they want it.
