"..Why work when they can make more money on unemployment?"
There are certainly some who feel that way, but I'm sure there are plenty who would love to have a good job and be able to make a good life.
Maybe we conservatives can help to make that happen, instead of beating them down. An awful lot of people have given up on this dismal (democrat) economy after beating their brains out trying to get a job. Can you blame them?
If they're down in a hole, help them get out of it instead of spitting on them.

They wouldn't be unemployed if they would learn how to talk and act in public and leave their attitudes at home.
