I wouldn't call infrastructure repair "make work." But yeah, I think if jobs were more readily available, many would choose it before venturing down a life of crime, slinging dope and eventually ending up in prison.
"From whom much is given, much is to be expected." -- Luke 12:48How about they finish high school and at least take advantage of the post-high school gifts available? God forbid they pay their own way.
Why is it only conservatives have to put out any effort or ever be responsible?
"That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E
being given something is not the same as worked or earned. I will keep mine. all I was given was my birth and a chance to live.
after the growing up part was done, I earned my keep and owe no one for where I am. live what you speak and give someone else your grades.
While no one ever listens to me,
I am constantly being told to be quiet.
In a world of snowflakes,
be the heat..
(1) You didn't answer my question:
Well, OK let's tailor it to your post: Do you think Tyrone is going to sweat his ass off or freeze his ass off or work in soaking rain doing road construction? Busting his ass for 8+ hours? Taking orders from a foreman "who don't give him no respect"? Do you think Tyrone is going to work for "X dollars an hour" (then have half of it extorted away as "taxes") when he can make 1000 times as much selling dope?
Please provide an answer.
(2) A professed atheist quoting the Bible? What a hypocrite.

I asked him to do his part and take in ONE, just ONE homeless person and give him only ONE of the rooms in his home. Of course, he said it wasn't "his" responsibility, it was a "community" responsibility.
LAGC wants to spread the wealth... as long as it's not HIS wealth that's being spread around. He's a hypocrite - plain and simple.
