       | When you get hundreds a week to not work, why is it any wonder
       | that people choose not to work? When you start working at a
       | $10/hour job and lose $20/benefits for being poor because you
       | pass a threshold, is it any wonder people can't get off of
       | government "assistance"? When it makes more financial sense to
       | remain single and get benefits than it does to get married and
       | create a stable family, is it any wonder?
       | 
       | The American Government is taxing the successful, rewarding the
       | lazy and acts surprised when it has obvious effects... They are
       | feeding the bears and making them dependent on handouts.
