Why do people not want to work?

[cdaigle430]

I was wondering what happened to people. I know people in a lot of trades, some skilled, some not and they are all having trouble finding good help. One guy told me a while back he has it figured out, he said "everybody that wants to work already has a job". I was just wondering what people think is going on these days. I know people who can work that don't. I know people who have been fired from 5 jobs the past year. It's crazy. I've been working in the same machine shop for 24 years with just a high school diploma, you don't have to have a college education to have a good job.

Why? Some are just lazy and some are smart. I worked hard for 35 years and Im friggin done with this country. I get so sad seeing my hard earned money going to people I dont know, dont like or hate and would never ever lift a finger in my need of help.

Working from Jan to April just to pay my share in taxes is slavery pure and simple. I hate seeing my money go to lazy people or people that just dont care I had to work 4 months strait just to pay the taxes that pay, feed or support them.

How about your home? You never own it you know. Stop paying taxes for almost a year and you lose it no matter how much its worth.

It is getting worse-much worse.....too many people want what they think is free-if it comes from the government it is never free. Somebody slaved over and I dont understand why people just cant get that through their heads?

We had an opening for a warm body..no experience...starting at 30.00 ph ..40 hrs a week plus overtime. Very light work and the possibility to learn a trade to make a good living for the future. ... no takers. Had one "recovering" junkie that I took a chance with....never..ever again...

Where are you moving to?
You aren't geographically close to me but maybe I can find someone to help you move.

Amazing how easy it is to buy votes promising to give away tax payers money. The problem is that with some of the latest promises, there simply could never be enough money to pay for them, no matter what. But heck, what does that matter? Nothing about econonmic reality, truth or lawfulness, matters any more. With the media under complete control, it's all only about manipulating the masses.

if you can name a better Country with a Constitution and Bill of rights, Please do!. as far as property taxes go, maybe you're just in the wrong State. 219’s Property Taxes by State

Yet the socialist think all of this is the way it should be. Those that work their butts off should pay for those to lazy to work their way up the ladder. Should pay for all the illegal's health care, housing, food, etc,.
If all of us that work should just quit, what would the socialist do ? Who would pay for those that aren't willing to work ?

The SF Bay Area must be an anomaly when it comes to total benefits or assistance... What do you tell the man with a wife and 4 kids and invalid mother in law paying his own way working for a utility company while his next door neighbor gets the same house for 3 people for $150 a month while the working lineman has 7 under the roof?

I have noticed it on a micro level too. Some people are just lazy. They take every opportunity to do nothing, rather than do some work that is always there to do. Kind of like third world disaster victims that sit around and wait for help, rather than take any initiative at all and start cleaning up.

Yet others, side step the work by shifting into a supervisory role, or just pondering the work, thinking of ways it should be done, while watching others do the heavy lifting.

Explain the neighbor more please. On assistance of some sort?

It seems like no matter how hard I try to do a good job, there is always someone complaining about what I've done.
Too much, too little. Too big, too small. Too sharp, too dull. To do. to do?

Takes the fun out of working....
