That's another aspect but that is not what I am talking about. They do NOT have to work any harder. Vote Republican, let us cut taxes and reduce regulations and obstacles, businesses will grow and hire and free markets will do their thing. They have to do nothing but cast a vote. They lose some worthless programs and regulations which many of them don't even benefit from. I submit that our approach will put more money in their pockets, get them employed and help them stay employed. We are offering them money and material security.
To your point, yes if they work harder they can make more money but that's their choice.
Those of us here on FR were taught to work hard and to enjoy the fruits of our work.
Those to whom you are referring have been taught to have their hand out & demand. That is THEIR JOB. Most of them will never be employable. They have ditched school & only want to whine. I would not hire a single one of them to do anything here at my small ranch. Not one. Not even to dig post holes for fences.
