Just stop and think about the arrogance of some people.
None of the RW Trombie fools who post here will tell you that they, personally, would stop working and sit on their ass if someone offered to pay their salary plus. No way! They’d say no and go to work because that is what productive people do.
But, they are absolutely certain that “those lazy kids” or “those negroes” or “those libs” are gonna take the money and play video games all day.
******* arrogant assholes.
Most well adjusted Americans prefer to work.
Even some Dimms....
Almost all sane, able bodied adult Americans prefer to work. Very few....so few that you cannot even tell me how many...refuse to work an available job and instead choose to live off of our tax dollars.
When you fuckers understand that fact, you will be PISSED at the assholes who convinced you otherwise.
At least in my state, if you made a livable wage, unemployment pays around 400 bucks a week. Factor in what the feds are handing out, that's a thousand bucks a week, which when taxes are figured in, like having a 60K a year job.
So if you are making 40K, and getting paid like a working person making 60K, why would you want to go back to work?

Because that is the human condition. Humans want to be productive.
Liberals know this. RW nutbags don’t. It’s the key difference between us.
You can't be serious. Your average human would rather go to work for 40K a year than stay home and get paid a comparable 60K a year? Don't you believe it.
Would you take the 40k job or sit home and take 60k from your fellow citizens for doing nothing?
I don't know anyone who sits home and takes money for doing nothing. That's basically what is going on now, and people are going crazy doing it. They are desperate to get out, and it's only been two weeks.
My neighbour gets 5 weeks paid vacation, and he almost never uses all the time. He says "What am I gonna do? Sit around all day?". He doesn't have a great job. He's outdoors in all weather, and it's hard physical work. But he'd rather go and do that than sit around getting paid to do nothing.
Canadian retirees have a guaranteed tax free income of $19,000 per year, plus free healthcare, no copays. Every retiree I know has a part time job. Or they're doing community service work - contributing to their communities.
