You're right. Sitting on your behind and collecting a check is a much better option. I have worked crap jobs to pay my bills and hated it. But I did it because it was what was right and I was able and willing to work. Not take a handout.

And it's not my job to provide work for people. It's not my job to hold their hands and fill out the jop app. for them. No one did it for me and guess what? It ain't that hard.

Everywhere you go there are signs for help wanted. Sorry if it's beneath people to work at Wal-Mart or at a fast food place.

You don't need outside guidance to take a shower, fill out a job app. and earn a living. It might be a low-paying living, I know. I worked 3 jobs at one time. But is that less noble that taking a check you didn't earn?

For the record, how many jobless welfare recipients have you given a job to, or helped find a job? How many of them kept the job more than a month? How many never showed for the interview?
