I don't care what kind of jobs they get- hell if they work hard or have valuable skills they should be able to get some pretty well paying jobs... I was simply saying that if you look at some minimum wage or close to minimum wage job, at 40 hrs a week it doesn't pay as much as welfare and food stamps... and that's a big part of the problem. I saw what you were trying to do there- please don't try and twist my words. But if someone lacks skills or experience, they don't have a right to just jump into a job that pays $50K/yr, they need to learn that they get what they earn and with most places of employment, you start at the bottom and work your way up, no one is entitled to earn a comfortable living from the very start.
