Tom Delay: People Are Unemployed Because They Want To Be

[xp2k]

I think what Kevin is dancing around saying is "I think most people who are unemployed and continuing to draw unemployment are lazy black people who just dont want to work". I really HATE to bring race into this, but thats really what I think he's hinting at.

If the number of jobs in America are finite, and the number of applicants in America are finite as well, but they outnumber the jobs, will the rejected applicants be unemployed because "they want to be"?

Temp agencies arent an option, because there are no jobs. Someone said they had a friend working in temporary staffing...well I have several friends who have CAREERS in this field, and they've all said they've never seen anything like this (recession)...they are flooded with candidates but they have no where to place them.

Starting a business isnt an option either. Unless you've noticed, the credit markets are still pretty cold....and banks are making restrictions on who they lend to. So how is someone suppossed to start a business with no capital? Are they suppossed to use the thousands of of excess dollars they have stuffed in their mattresses?

I'm not getting angry or emotional or putting out my situation (i am employed but I have been unemployed before) because that really wont convince anyone who DOESNT WANT TO BE CONVINCED regardless of their poor logic.

That may be the case. I can honestly say that for once I don't think this is the case though. Kevin just appears to have a general disdain for people who are not in the same financial category as he. That applies to all races.
