Most of "corporate America" needs people with greater skillsets than the

In actuality, if a slacker can scam a handout from the government, that
effectively raises the minimum wage that these same people would be
willing to accept to leave the welfare roles. If there were no public
assistance, desperation would force people to work for a much lower wage.

I guess the news of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act of 1996 has yet to reach you. It is no longer welfare,
more accurately, it is workfare.
