I couldn't agree with you fast enough.

Willful uselessness should not be tolerated and it SURE AS HELL shouldn't be paid!!
Walk the plank!
So who defines the poor and disabled? Or a small tribe? Large ones get Welfare (the Sioux), small ones get screwed (the Ponca)?
And who defines Welfare (per my post above).
