America has a high unemployment rate because it pays people NOT to work. In fact, since non working people have access to free food, housing, healthcare etc. it might be the best deal going!
I don’t understand why we taxpayers pay people not to work. There is lots of stuff that needs done in the USA that isn’t getting done while we shovel billions of dollars for doing nothing; and that includes subsidies and bailouts to banksters, Hollywood, NFL, farmers and oil companies too. The government needs to get out of the business of redistributing wealth at both ends of the economic spectrum.
