No. It isn’t. Some people? Sure. Many people already live off of welfare and already choose not to work.

Yes. It is utterly uncontroversial. Most people aspire to have some luxuries in their life. And people go the extra mile to afford them. The fact that some people are on welfare, which often effectively prohibits even small amounts of work those people might otherwise want to do, doesn't change that.

And who cares if some small proportion of people just want the basics and aren't willing to work more? Do you literally want to force them with death to make them work? Why? They don't want to be there, they're unhappy to be there, they aren't motivated, they aren't productive. And I don't blame them!

And now you think I’m not? Why? Because I didn’t roll over and agree with everything you said?

Because you responded to something easily observable with the brainless "doubt".

You are either trolling or just remarkably stupid. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
