Choosing not to work?

[Nickt87]

First, the country creates an enabling, attractive, and comfortable environment that allows a person to be unemployed for unrealistic reasons and for an unrealistic amount of time. Second, the lazy people(or people living in daddy's wallet) create a culture that views living in such a way as attractive, easy, or just flat out the right thing to do. CULTURE and GOVERNMENT have created a Monster.

China has an unemployment rate that seldom exceeds 3-4% but their minimum wage is 85% less than ours. Yes, their cost of living is less than ours but by only 40% or so. So they are working for 45% less on minimum wage(factoring in COL)as America and their unemployment is half of ours. Why is that? BC if you don't work in China the government won't subsidize your lazy butt for it. They work because they HAVE TO not because they want to.
