From what I see on this forum the people that have something to say here are not the 'unemployed workshy' but mainly the sick and disabled.

And the sick and disabled can not work harder to support ourselves, and I don't see anyone here actually defending the the workshy either.

I must be reading a different forum to you, I don't see the 'rich vs the poor' thing and the 'them as us thing' it's the usual against the usual but just a different subject.
