Why work when you can rob and steal? In Atlanta, great sport and profit is made from students at GSU and Georgia Tech. EVERY week an incident is reported (by law).
Too stupid to work with their brain and too lazy to work with their back.
Lucky for them, they get free food and baby mommas on Uncle’s tab, until they build up the energy to go steal something.
They’re not hungry enough.
2 Thess 3:10
...he who will not work, nor shall he eat
Prov 16:26
A laborer’s appetite works to his advantage, because his hunger drives him on.
I’d eliminate the tax on manufacturing as well. Eliminating the EPA and letting the states impose their own rational regulations wouldn’t hurt either.
We also need to find ways of encouraging self employment and small business.
I wonder why the author thinks there should be such a thing. Low-skill jobs - unless they have very demanding physical requirements, such as great strength - will naturally tend to offer low pay as well. High-paying manufacturing jobs were the result of a union-government cabal's favoring some low-skilled workers at the expense of the larger economy, both consumers and excluded workers.
Now that system has fallen, as it was always destined to. Most low-skill/low-pay jobs have been eliminated by regulation. The drive to earn a living has been crushed by handouts.
Wow, and those that do graduate still don't know anything.
You want controversy?
When they get busted, sentence them to pick lettuce. Give the legitimate "guest workers" raises, and let them "manage" the inner-city youts.
Ever wonder how much money an honest person would have to save to generate this kind of income? It's in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The way they describe it sounds like Paris or Greece or something.
This is the natural result of publik skoolz and the present kulture plus the inner city mentality against “acting white”.
The article failed to mention their greatest source of housing/food - baby mammas. Most of these gutter rats have four or five stupid women who have their babies so they can hop from bed to bed while WE pay for those women to lay around with various men, adding to their monthly support with each child that is not even raised, just allowed to grow without direction.
It’s not the lack of work experience that keeps people from hiring a laborer, it’s the lack of work ethics.
They don’t work even if you do hire them so there is no point in hiring them.
It doesn’t matter to them. The way they figure it, uncle Sam will continue to provide handouts. If not the gubmint, they can go to a soup kitchen. And if they come by their gains criminally, it’s a win-win: they don’t get caught, they have goods to pawn. If they DO get caught, they get three hots and a cot, an exercise yard, and they get to learn the greatness of Mohammed.
There’s nothing to incentivize them to work harder or better. Their basic needs are met: food and shelter. They go out and procreate at will with little regard for the welfare of the children.
LBJ’s “Great Society” completely destroyed any dignity left in the black community.
And they can stroll into the food kitchen and get a free meal every day of the week. The LAST time I worked at a food kitchen, it seemed like half the “customers” were healthy young men. No eye contact, no thank you, sad. I was recently in Maui and went to the Catholic church there twice. They were very proud of their outreach program which fed several hundred people every day. I was going to give them my usual weekly tithe but decided not to enable this ministry. Guess that’s why I’m an evil conservative.
They won’t work but by God they will vote.
I’ve got news for everyone — it isn’t just “inner city” men. There are a lot of suburban white men — ages 20 to 40 and of all economic levels — who don’t believe that they are required to support themselves. I have family members in rural Texas — all white as a sheet — who live off disability. My 43 year old brother is an electrician who lays off 4 months a year and doesn’t work, and then looks for money from my poor old parents because he is “having a hard time” during those months. A good friend comes from Appalachian Tennessee and he just shakes his head in shame at how his family spends their time stealing cars and living off disability and scamming the system. This is not a “black” or “inner city” problem. The whole freakin country wants a handout or views scamming the system as a way of life.
Leave it to the Austin Silly council to produce a survey that only 47% of Austinites eligible for food stamps / Lone Star cards are enrolled in the program. I kid you not.
Whatever happened to “welfare reform”? was it all a big scam?
Yes (in the fine print of the bill—the government could keep 30% of its caseload on the dole indefinitely)
