Yes. Many employers like Wal-Mart don't let you work 60 hour weeks, or even 40. They keep you at 30 or 32 so that they don't have to give you full-time benefits.

Furthermore, most retailers and service jobs give you a floating schedule, making joggling a second job all but impossible.

Spend some time working retail before you start pontificating about lazy bums.

. And have less time to father or birth babies they can not afford to provide for.

Nothing like smug, arrogant, condescending moral superiority, eh?
