So you believe everyone out of work is a progressive and does not want to work? I bet you do not even see what is wrong about your original premise and attempting to explain it to you would be a waste of effort because if you really wanted the truth you would have already found it.

Most of the world lives on less than $15 a day.

Most of the people and by most I mean vast majority are apolitical. Not everyone is obsessed with partisan politcs like you. Seriously if most of the slackers you know are political then you need to.broaden your circle amd get more interests

Can you make that point to the people trying to increase the minimum wage to $60K/yr?

Only problem is, minimum wage workers in this country have to pay the cost of living in this country.

Unless you are willing to accept my proposal to allow sub-minimum housing for low-wage Americans.

THAT is your metric of "progressives who don't want to work"

Welfare recipients as a group have lousy voter turnout -not like good progressives.

And how do welfare recipients compare politically with non-recipients of similar demographics?

e.g. do poor people on welfare differ politically from poor people not on welfare?

e.g. do single parents on welfare differ politically from single parents not on welfare?

True dat!

There is a reason for the Conservative take over of congress. It is not because Conservatives are living lavishly.

So sorry to inform you but that graph does have a bar showing how many DO NOT WANT TO WORK, be cause someone is out of work does not mean they want to be. Logic is your friend, try it.
