....And who are those unemployed who do work?....

They while away their days not working, lazily allowing others to do for them that which they are unwilling to do for themselves in their drug fog. They lack the gumption to get up every day and earn their keep. They are the dregs, the scummy film at the bottom of the American barrel. They report, get in a day or two and then somehow can't make it a third in a row. They have endless excuses for what is actually just plain laziness.

You did not understand my question:

"....And who are those unemployed who do work?.... "

You said that majority of the unemployed do not work. I am curious who are those "unemployed who DO work"? Don't they commit fraud?

Yeah and so who exactly wants to hire these people? And who wants to be served by these people? I'll take a hard-working LEGAL foreigner over a lazy American any day of the week. Just because you happen to be born in the US doesn't give you the right to a paycheck. You have to earn that paycheck with an honest day's work. I keep hearing about Amerians losing work to immigrants, but I never actually met one. There are plenty of jobs for anyone who wants one and is competent to do the work.

Strange that nature should create a species--in this case, homo sapiens--that is loathe to make a living for itself.

Any other animal that refused to earn its keep would soon become extinct.

And yet how is it that so many humans are born who do not want to earn their living?

One would think such genes would have become extinct.

Or perhaps the way our industrial world expects people to make a living is too artificial for many to adapt to it.

And the "fault" may not be laziness, but the unnatural lifestyle imposed by industrialization.

What's worse, we are becoming increasingly industrialized, ensuring more unhappy workers who are forced to do artificial jobs--

Jobs that are really a kind of industrial slavery.

And expected to do those job for many, many hours longer each day than did their hunting and gathering ancestors--

Which ancestors likely provided all their food and keep with two or three hours of work a day.

After all, how many hours a day do lions work?
