Most may not live up to the picture above but everyone should lift up a finger to get any government assistance. When the government gives away “free” anything it becomes a disincentive to those who worked for it and those who could have the potential to do so. Therefore whether it’s medical expenses, food, shelter etc one should have to participate to earn it based on their abilities, potential and most importantly “self worth”. If someone can’t work at all then volunteering would be a necessity it could be something as simple as reading a book to children, walking dogs at a shelter, writing a poem to inspire others. The need to earn something of what one receives will make things more just for those that pay for it and those that receive it.
