Some do......and the one's that don't,just want to bludge of the system,maybe they are uneducated or come from families that were on welfare and have just followed suit.

the state of every country now is really hard for young people to get jobs the economy is shot every where, for those who have taken higher education and hoping to get agood job that hasnt woirked either but they will get more work than the rest eventuly, it is sad that when I left school you had that job for life if you wanted it ,but times have changed and sadley this does not happen anymore for those who just dont want to work and are lazy and think the goverment and tax payers like myself will contribute them for life whilst on benefit will have a rude awakening soon lets hope things change soon for those who really do want to work

jobs are hard to come  by. but people who manage to get them feel a lot better about themselves than people who dont work. i dont understand why people just dont want to work. i see it everywhere. i know people in their 40`s still living with mom and dad. or you see grandkids living with grandma and grandpa while the parents are off partying their lives away.

The governments make it to easy for people to get food and housing, and that's all they want.

"Not wanting to work” can be caused by many things in a persons life. PTSD in youth can cripple a person for life if untreated. It is the most disabling problem a person can have and still look normal. Then there are medically treatable conditions a simple blood test could reveal like anemia, low iron, low B-12, Blood sugar disorders like manic-depression and brain disorders not to mention a bunch of viral and allergenic disorders. Illegal, restricted. and prescribed medication addiction can bring a person to question their motives for working what so ever. Life is harsh and our culture does not make work an experience that you would like to spend the rest of your life doing. We work to get by, to pay our bills and maybe get ahead enough to eventually retire. Our debts are like a whip driving us to work each and every day and for many the futility of the American dream combined with the demands and crap that insults us too regularly is just too much to take. We see people who have nothing and do nothing, happy and our blood pressure is threatening our lives. Why are they happy and I’m miserable? They’re not working and I’m paying their way….so I’m pissed off until I really understand what is going on with something else that looks like an insult to me. So that’s why so many are not working….That’s why Obama wants that big health plan…he knows that’s why so many are not working.
