Cashman... either you have me on your "ignore" list (which is A-OK with me) or you can't find your reading glasses! Hang in here.  |
The point was made that the person on the street should have gone to the house and earned the money, rather that have it handed to him (or her). That implied that an offer of work was made to the person for employment.
If the persons options are to work for the $50 or sit in the street and receive the handout, I'm afraid that most people in today's "give me" society, nurtured from decades of the "entitlement" mentality would say "why should I work when some fool will hand it to me". It's no secret that if one has a choice of working a 40 hr week for no more than unemployment compensation will pay, people will opt for unemployment every time. The same is true with welfare or SSI payments.
