I know TONS of scumbags who do not WANT a job too. They are all called "unemployed"

I can also tell you for a fact that even though Las Vegas has a super high unemployment rate...there is absolutely no reason for anybody here not to have a job.

The service industry alone here could hire every person.

A lot of it is just like the health insurance bullshit. Not everybody WANTS insurance. And not everybody WANTS to have a job. And not everybody will work a job they don't want or feel is "beneath" them.
