If a worker is working 40 hours a week (or more, counting overtime and second and third jobs) and still can't feed, house and clothe his family at least up to minimum poverty line levels, its not his fault; its his employer's.
The welfare check and food stamps are not a gift to lazy workers, they are a handout of tax dollars for greedy employers. If a boss can't afford to pay his workers enough money to live on, whatever he is selling is something we can all live without.
They should be reminded that if they can't find workers to pick their tomatoes or flip their burgers they need to raise their salaries until the jobs become attractive to workers. That's called the "law of supply and demand", you know, what they're always so self-righteously lecturing us about.
We live in a country where salaries are dropping, worker productivity is going up, and corporate profits and executive salaries are higher than ever. It doesn't take a mental giant to figure out what's going on.

Welfare is a government subsidy for employers who won't pay a living wage.
