I am a bit harsh, yes. But not unfair. They are indeed working, and not asking for my help, but:

Today, they get bags of groceries from a San Jose food bank...

They're cooking for themselves now, which is a start, but they don't need the food handout. (The "lavish trips" in their recent past says to me that they don't have kids.) You can eat, and eat well, cooking for yourself on less than $50 a month per person.

...have joined the ranks of the uninsured...

My taxes pay for any emergency care they would need for a car accident, etc.

...and beg their parents for $1,045 in rent for their 600-square-foot apartment.

30 and 35 years old and hitting up the folks for rent? My eyes are rolling so far in the back of my head that I can't even see.

The article states that they are getting food from the foodbank, getting rent money from parents, so I ask, where the h*ll is that 35K/year going? Couple of snappy roadsters in the driveway? And one other hint, if you live in an area where it costs a grand a month for a 600 sq foot apt, and you're making 35K a year, it's time to start packing.
