actually i was refering to the people on welfare that have made a lifestyle out of it. And as far as the people that got laid off, I do feel sorry for them. A lot of them were probably very hard workers, but honestly, unions have gone too far to make it too easy for someone to do the bare minimum amount of work and still get paid too much. I worked in a paint factory for six years, I worked harder and more efficiently than half the people that had been there for longer and got paid accordingly, we were not union, some of the other people would screw stuff up and lose the company money by being lazy or careless, then would gripe about not getting a raise the next quarter. I think you should get paid for how and when you work individually. Work ethic has gone down the shitter and people wonder why they lose jobs to cheap chinese labor. I don't think ALL the workers that got laid off are lazy, the unions stack all employees in the same pile regardless of quality, therefore people got laid off stacked in the same piles. I would rather have ten really efficient, reliable, hard workers versus twenty crappy workers at three times the price.

I work very hard, I worked my ass off to get where I am today, nothing has been handed to me. I feel I get paid what I am worth, probably a little more somedays. But I earn every dollar I make. I don't want my money to go to someone who is claiming disability because they are too fat to work, or to people who have litters of kids just so they can be given more money by the government, or anybody else wanting to take advantage of the system.
