RR tried something like this when governor of California. Those facing work got
sympathetic shrinks to declare laziness a debilitating mental disease then
judges to agree. Thus if one is too lazy to work, the government can't make him.

That and the sytem is open to explotation the other way around, why pay
prevailing wage for manual labour whe you can get throught the local
welfare office at very nearly slave wages?
