Yeah, there's some folks who would sooner just stay on public
assistance.  There's a lot who'd sooner not have to work at all.

The thing is, there's also a lot of people who'd like to not have to
work a job, or two jobs, or three, AND still have to collect public
assistance as well just to keep their family housed, clothed and fed.
There's something obscene about the richest family in America having
gotten that way by destroying their suppliers and not paying their
employees a living wage.
