“Wall Street Journal had article Get Able Bodied Americans Off the Couch”
After I retired, I joined a local fitness center. I usually go to the center between 10AM & 2PM. The place is packed with blacks and Hispanics, who obviously spend quiet a bit of time working out. These folks are VERY able bodied and likely collecting some sort(s) of taxpayer largesse.
(unless they are working the night shift somewhere, which I highly doubt)
Thanks for your eyewitness account backing me up.
I have stifled myself from saying to our blocks long apt. complex residents and people at the various restaurants: What is your full time job?” I know I’d have to fight my out of the conversation physically, of course.
Know what’s sad? In this apt. complex a woman on metal leg braces who pushed herself painfully on crutches to her car to scrape the snow off and warm it up, who had a specially adapted hand controlled car to compensate for one leg much shorter than the other, got up and went to a full time job every weekday for years. Sometimes a maintenance man or I would scrape the ice and snow off for her before she got up-—a few times.
But as she struggled to work she would pass the parked cars of I would say 60% of the residents who slept in and did not work at all. Able bodied, sometimes jogging or having a bike ride if not off relaxing at a movie or restaurant or the beach.
She and I paid their way with our jobs’ income taxes.
