Corporations and the wealthy are at least working for their money.
People currently losing their jobs is a rare situation. Before the crisis unemployment was only 3.8%. There was no reason a person who "couldn't" find a job and collecting benefits couldn't work--you are always telling us we need infrastructure spending.
Why couldn't a SNAP or Medicaid recipient work at a food bank, homeless shelter, women's shelter?--this would show that empathy you are always harping about; yet, you would deprive those people of workers to help them with their problems.
As usual, you quit discussing anything of substance and turn to personal insults.
I don't care if you work, but the American taxpayers should not have to pay for your living expenses if you are able-bodied with no minor dependents. I bet I give more to charities than you do--a sign of real empathy opposed to parlor pinkos.
