How does BS grab you? The picking and choosing come down to two things...willing to work any job and will it pay more than my unemployment? Come on man, my wifes side of the family has more people working the system then I care to count. These are people who have been offered good jobs but they would prefer to sit at home collecting unemployment and have no health insurance that would be offered as part of the employment package. There is one person who works in my wife's aunt's house, her one cousin who did not qualify for unemployment checks by the state. She found a job at Best Buy that offers health care. She likes the job. She is covered for health. She is paying taxes.
