What a typical smug response. Some of us not working are disabled or elderly, we need to be near our doctors and medical care, and have as much right as anyone to friends and sense of community. Distance is that much greater for those of us with mobility issues and no easy transportation. The disabled and elderly are given just as little as other welfare recipients to get by on. Plenty of countries in the prosperous parts of the world have managed a safety net and a market driven economy. You'd think it would be bad for business to have people hungry on the streets.
