The easiest and most direct solution is for the government to guarantee that everyone who wants to contribute productively to society is able to earn a decent living in the public sector...

Of course the author misses the point that when someone
doesn’t want to contribute to society, they will be
FORCED to contribute, and not necessarily in the work
of their choice, OR the location of their choice.
Do they think they can just pack up and move anywhere?
Sorry not allowed.

The BEM (Booger Eating Moron) who wrote the article referred to FDR's NRA as a great idea. It did put a lot of people to work. People who were desperate to work, because they had no notion of "welfare," "food stamps," "unemployment insurance," and hundreds of other state and federal support programs, that for all intents and purposes, rewards long term joblessness.

To put it bluntly, they didn't have 60+ years of training NOT to work for their grandparents and parents. A great number of the unemployed have no will to work, work ethic, nor the patience to work hard to achieve what they want. Not all, but a high number. A few years back, an incredibly busy BBQ restaurant in Olathe, KS has to close, because they couldn't find enough employees in a city teaming with teens and twenty-somethings from middle class and affluent neighborhood. They were offering starting wages over $10/hr, and they couldn't find enough workers. They even went so far as to set up transportation, driving people from the KCMO "inner city" the 25 or so miles, each way, to the jobs, but after the first or second paycheck, they stopped working. They had to close the restaurant.

You make a very good point here. And even if they did want to pack up and move, where would they go?
