Got it If people are able bodied, should they be required to do work that is available or should the rest of us have some of our income forcibly taken from us to provide them with handouts?

The line between fact and opinion when it comes to history isn't that clear. A column that provides a narrative citing to facts is more than sufficient.

The situation where they’re still working those crappy jobs and may end up doing them for life . Not everyone is capable of getting a college degree or becoming CEO and advancement possibilities many places are limited . I worked crappy jobs, worked my way up , and “got mine” I just think people beneath me deserve much better treatment than they are getting. Link to comment
