This is the equivalent of callng Obama a socialist. Its a typical GOP tactic to keep everyone in line. WTF are you talking about? It is an established scientific fact and has been since BF Skinner and Ivan Pavlov. If you give people money not to work, guess what? They won't f*cking work. What people are you talking about? We have people getting unemployment who are standing on street corners begging for work. So what people did you mean? The only reason it may not work this time is because too many people are unemployed and can't find work. Again, what are you talking about? "It won't work"??? It works exactly as we know it will. It discourages people from working at real jobs. The only question is to what extent. The average unemployment check in the U.S. is $293. That's $12K a year. I doubt even a single person in a low wage state like MS could live on those few dollars. And in a state like WA state they would be living on the street. So WTF are you talking about? Are you nuts?!!
