"Many are incapable of getting a job due to drug use. poor edication or just plain laziness."

IMHO, all of that doesn't matter. Take away the benefits. A hungry stomach, regardless of one's intellect or lack thereof, tends to get one moving.

The problem with many of these people, except those mentally deficient, is that they have never had a reason to be motivated to survive. We, who have worked and paid the taxes to support these shirkers, have done it all for them. Even to the point of destroying their self-esteem.

Even FDR agreed...

"A large proportion of these unemployed and their dependents have been forced on the relief rolls. The burden on the Federal Government has grown with great rapidity. We have here a human as well as an economic problem. When humane considerations are concerned, Americans give them precedence. The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fibre. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit. It is inimical to the dictates of sound policy. It is in violation of the traditions of America. Work must be found for able-bodied but destitute workers."
