Are you volunteering to be judge, jury and executioner for "who are claiming mental illness as an excuse not to work"?
Not to mention that your idea of how much people on social assistance get is a joke.
I do maintenance work in Halifax apartment buildings with many residents who are the real people from whom you draw your mythology.
Not to mention that you obviously have no idea what a dinky fraction of the Community Services budget, let alone of all tax dollars, go to social assistance of people who are able bodied.
Not to mention I've employed a number of them, and the term 'able bodied' has to be used pretty loosely. Yes they have two good hands and two good legs and two good eyes and they can carry on a conversation and are often pretty bright. But they all have issues that have a great deal to do with why people do not keep them in employ.
