The opportunity for them to see they are throwing their lives away by living on government assistance, that they will never live up to their full potential and God given talent. Government dependency will rob you of your soul.
They don't want to. Government dependency is for the vast majority of people in it a lifestyle choice. There was a very unpopular study that came out years ago that showed family wealth was roughly proportional to the number of hours worked per week. They don't want to work and would rather accept a less affluent lifestyle at their neighbors' expense than go out and work. Well screw 'em. I have zero sympathy for them. I'll reserve my sympathy for the hardworking whose property was damaged by the hurricane and who are having difficulties now.
