Part of the problem is Florida's minimum wage is $8.64 per hour. I don't blame people who make minimum wage to sit home and collect the federal government's extra $300 on top of their base unemployment pay.

I stopped in the McDonalds on 466 yesterday. First thing you see is a huge sign saying 'STARTING PAY $13 /hr"
Nobody is applying. $300/wk free money PLUS normal unemployment amount based on last lob, most likely taxfree, versus a full timer working for $520 a week, minus taxes.. Who's going to want to go back to work.
Basically, the entire country is on welfare. Take away that safety net of free money and they'll find a job very fast. Just hate people too lazy and expect the rest of us to support them.
