I'm not saying we should begin putting 5 year olds on assembly lines. But I am saying is that no able-bodied person has any business receiving all of his or her income from the government because we are the government and we are paying for their laziness.
Well, at least she's a compassionate conservative. BTW, I've been paying into the system for 25 years. If I end up on unemployment or G-d forbid, disability, I'm not going to feel at all guilty about receiving it, any more than I would collecting on my car insurance if my car got totaled.

I agree we need more welfare to work. However, there is no way for some people to compete against illegal aliens for some jobs. If all of the service industries had to pay minimum wage, we would have enough jobs to get people off of welfare.

Right now we don't.
