And I'd prefer to lend a helping hand when and where I wish, not having you or someone else use the government to tell me when and how.

Yep tell the good lord you didn’t help because they were lazy. I’ve no doubt there are freeloaders and those abusing the system but for the most part people don’t chose to be poor. Instead of trying to judge them I’d prefer to err on the side of lending a helping hand.

David, I generally agree about erring on the side of too much generosity rather than not enough. At the same time, don’t you agree there is value in incentivizing healthy people to work. I’m not one calling anyone poor or lazy, but I do believe pushing people to work is important.

Nobody has a problem with this for the most part. There is a difference between poor and lazy. Not unless you are judging and assuming that poor people are lazy. And if so thats on you because I clearly defined there was a difference.

Honestly, Im tired of getting applications for people that dont want to work. All they are doing is trying to fulfill the requirement of "looking for a job".
