What should we do with people who rely on government handouts, but are too lazy to work?

2. Before seeing the cartoon -

my response would have been "does this apply to Congress?"

[SfromCanada]

4. or the Walton (Sprawlmart) family?

3. If that were the case they could hold joint meetings in the cloakroom and have room to spare.

And, get more done in one session than what the current congress does in a year.

5. Tax the rich.

6. For the non-Congress-critters...we should do nothing.

The number of 'ordinary' people who don't want to work is miniscule and we are all better off keeping them out of the way of everyone else.

9. Exactly.

I'v met very few able-bodied who were truly unwilling to work, and they truly needed to be kept out of the way. There are levels of intelligence, ability,motivation, and common decency necessary to be useful in any sort of reasonable workplace - and some folks ain't got it. So, they are better off at "home", on the dole, than screwing up the rest of us while being publicly flogged for their "sins".

In a good and decent world, we'd find a way for most of them to contribute somehow - many do now, one way and another - unpaid caregivers, junkmen, "canners" - some income and support would really help a lot of folks on the margins, and the net cost to society would be a pittance.

12. Except, it will be difficult.

We've been trying since Bush. However it seems the WA insiders and the lobbyists have figured out a very efficient system of recycling themselves.

13. HA!

Made me laugh.
