“Not everyone can do big jobs because of their IQ or mental status. Now we have no little jobs.”

A lot of welfare are reparations payments go to the irresponsible and the lazy who intend to dodge all labor. However many do want to work. But where are the lousy jobs and the good jobs for them. My father had a sheet metal factory which employed 40 lower middle class men. Those kind of men’s jobs are much rarer in America today. This kind of work is mostly done outside of America or it is computerized and automated these days.

So of course all these people will want to live off Gov’t transfer payments rather than starve. They will live off “welfare” of various kinds and supplement that with off the books work and petty crime like drug dealing

In my opinion, if the regulations on minimum wage and employment were eliminated, a lot of small jobs would come back. Instead of my family mowing the lawn, I would have a small jobber mow the lawn, because I sure cannot afford the 90 dollar mowings by the local landscaper who has an enormous regulatory burden to meet.
