Good post, zk. I’m also amused by the tendency of those on the conservative side to complain a lot, but they never have any viable alternatives. “Let them get sick and die on the sidewalks,” or “If they don’t have a social safety net, they’ll work harder” are not viable alternatives; there is no evidence anywhere in history that shows this type of society/economy is better than a more egalitarian and compassionate society/economy.

Lol, you folks keep equating poor = lazy? Where do you folks get that idea from?
Where did anywhere anyone say anything about poor = lazy… Plenty of “poor(er)” people are not lazy. And plenty of poor people strive every day to try to better themselves.
FWIW: if I actuall thought poor people were lazy, I don’t think I would be spending my free time doing other people’s resume, cover letters, and mock interviews for people who are unemployed. Nor would I be spending a heck of a lot of time volunteering in the public school systems.
But I am curious. When was the last time either of you tried to help just 1 complete stranger find a job?
