justin and courage in texas this is you disagree with you what's up
paperwork on
or you're talking about the job being a right
for all-american
and stuff like the the probably better than
what do you do it uh... millions but don't want to work
but just want to government handout what do you do with the bad workers
can you not our own simply their right to have the job
no i'm not i'm not saying a video contest two separate issues with regard
to
uh... people who are bad workers sure you confer and an if somebody's not
doing a good job i'm not saying that you have iraq not to be fired
im sayn you have a right to a job
and with a where there are two people who don't want to work yes there's
always going to be
ben franklin in his autobiography as i was on the list fast same parts his
autobiography is
when he first went over to in london
they had this is in the seventeen th
fifties matey
and they had a fairly extensive social welfare program they have people on the
dole basically uh... in and
ends and he brought about how he felt that maybe that was discouraging some
people from working
there's always going to be a small
subset of americans there it's called the hard-core unemployed long-term
unemployed is different phrases for it
and it typically is somewhere between one and three and a half percent
and you find at the same thing in pretty much every country
of people who we're just too soon not work
and if you give them
you know some minimal
now even given a pretty crummy sandra living they'll take that rather than
working
and i would say that
you know that's
those people bar probably suffering from some sort of mental illness
and
that's a small price to pay
for the rest of us living in a decent society and that's the decision the most
of the countries of mate
and that but but you know how many people do you know justin i don't know
anybody
personally and i and i've i've looked back through my life edit all the years
i've done this planet in
and i'd maybe one or two people
out of the
thousands or
five fives of thousands many thousands of people that know through my life
given a choice between a good job at the enjoyed doing and that pays well
verses
sitting around on discussed just scraping by on food stamps
and you know watching tv needing bon-bons was chisel iraq it's it's it's
very rare frankly
whip
personal accountability i mean you at the present in your life for the year
seventeen a retainer
for thirty or forty
and that's all that's all rhetorical though the reality is that most people
like to work most people don't want to sit around all day most people don't
want it you know there's only one
her body was a great job there
well as providing uh... as though if you got biological seventeen
why should i have to pay period to get your
twenty years later
well if somebody drops a high school is seventeen and they're capable of
building roads
and our roads are falling apart their cable building bridges are bridges are
falling apart
are there any other it wind up with them to work doing that
and give them a decent wage in let them raise a family and and
let me just 'cause somebody does not a college assuming that there are any less
valuable to society that somebody does
i didn't get it
but aren't saying
nearly maybe they didn't work
working you know well maybe they didn't want to education there are some people
have ability
now there's some people's religious disability there there are some people
who fit into our educational system really well and there are some people
because the weather brings a word or whatever who don't fit into our
education system really well and that shouldn't be the criteria for how much
they get paid and whether or not they're working
in in you know i am i reading it
and and i think that we need strong trade schools in this country like like
they have in european countries and we'd be a at their free college in this
country and we need decent jobs that pay well for somebody who is simply a high
school graduate or even a high school dropout
and you know uh... when i was growing up i mean half my friends
parents worked at uh... tat uh... all's will be a large enroll motors we lived
in lansing i mean it was going on i was the major industry in town
and a lot of those parents were immigrants or the sons of immigrants
uh... and and they the you know a lot of them didn't finish high school but they
they raise their kids they they've bakery they built the middle class
and and anna and just tell you people people would rather work
then then just you know sit around any chocolates
and the and that's small percentage of people who are going to work i'm not
disputing with you that they exist i'm saying that subsidizing that tiny
percentage which is going to be just a few pennies a year out of art taxes
is a small price to pay for everybody not living in constant insecurity and
fear and if the government became the employer of last resort so that our
unemployment rate went from its current fourteen fifteen percent an enemy to
minority communities it's a size fifty percent in some areas if we went from
that down to five percent point what you would see as the labor market would
tighten up you see more people working you see more people paying taxes you'd
see you know the budget deficit would go away wages with star rising because
there would be competition for for workers there a high see absolutely no
social or economic orford as speaking as a businessperson business downside law
had more customers more people want to subscribe dot podcast 'cause they'll be
able to afford to
i mean i just it just
when we'd do it because and the proof of it is the we did this in the united
states
we did this from nineteen thirty three until the
too late forties maybe the early fifties we did this it works really well
and other countries do this on a routine basis and it works really well and i
think that we should just we should consider justin thanks
