Rochard, even from you, that post is especially nonsensical.
$15.00 per hour and up to 6K in tuition reimbursement in 2014 doesn't put anyone on easy street or buy them a BMW.
15x40= $600 per week GROSS.
$31,200 per year to work full time while putting in 18 hours a week for each class.
Good luck living on that in 2014 as a 25-30 year old person trying to get ahead by working your ass off.
Punishing people for being lazy is one thing. Punishing them for working 40 hours a week while going to school full time at night is probably the worst thing society could ever do. We should be raising minimum wage, providing even more benefits and making work even more profitable. That's what makes people get off their couch and actually go to work when it is available.
