But we are feeding them --- the same government that promotes outsourcing of jobs confiscates your money to provide equal health care and standards of living for those who aren't working anymore.
Plus is we don't feed them --- then we'll look like Mexico --- where there are beggars on every corner --- street children galore. I'd just rather everyone have jobs and take care of themselves.

in a healthy economy, i think the magic number is 5%. that is the amount of unemployed you can have to maintain a competetive job market. as for feeding the non-working, i think its fine for a widow with no previous work experience (as social security was founded). and all else can kiss off.
