Your scenario definitely plays out in places with progressive land use policies.

One of his aides, a DemocRAT suggested I live off government support. Told them I wasn't interested. The next aide, another DemocRAT, suggested I lie on a resume. I looked up companies that recently closed down and put it on my resume. Also, and embellished my skills. I applied to jobs that I knew how to do. Surprisingly, it worked. Had I not put a fake job history on my resume, it would be #500 that got rejected or have no response, and I would still be struggling to look for work. (This was the year that Obama ran for re-election).

From what I learned, it shows that the DemocRAT party wants to keep everyone on government welfare support, or is filled with dirty lying crooks that cheats their way to power. I stuck with being an independent for a few years after I graduated high school as I didn't care about politics that much. As time moved on, I became more disappointed in Obama's (and the DemocRAT's) handling of the economy (and handling of the country overall), so I went hardcore republican.

I never understood people like you. I graduated college in Aug 2006 and i have job hopped and every time it was a pay increase and job title promotion. (Going to college is a self-investment so you need to determine if it is right for you. I received scholarships, grants and took out loans. I also worked part-time to pay out of pocket tuition.) Recently, i paid off my student loan and i am debt free. I have a solid career in supply chain management. I didn't ask Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, nor Trump for help.

I searched and applied for the jobs and i got them. I went on interviews that didn't pan out, applied for jobs that never responded back, etc. I never gave up; i kept on moving.

I remember i worked a job where i quit after ONE day. After one day, i knew it was not for me. Daily attendance by a HR assistant at 8;15 am (after 3 lateness you were fired), no vacation days to start (you have to work 6 full months to get 5 paid days). 45 min lunch break. You work was timed. No thanks.

Since college i have worked 7 professional jobs. All of them a steeping stone to something better.

You need an attitude adjustment!
I would guess and say he feels he is owed a good job.

Well, you just hit on the problem: A lot of people would rather live on the largesse of others than work.

Obama gave them phones, money, free health care ...why work?

I don't even have to work at standing out. In fact it's an effort to fit in. Here's the problem whenever I show my real self people treat me like the plague. As an introvert I operate by a don't ask don't tell policy at least IRL (it's easier to write online anonymously) so it's an effort for me to just go up to employers let alone take a huge risk like that.
I'm always honest because I don't know how to lie and many people do lie during interviews. I also thought about explaining myself further in ways that show my uniqueness. I brought it up with a coach. I said "maybe I should mention to them examples of how much I am a hard worker and how reliable I am" they tell me "no no that's going in too deep. you have to have short answers" I say "I have to stand out though. anyone can say they're a hard worker" but still everyone tells me just saying my qualities is good enough.
Maybe your example works because you are proving your work history so if you have little professional experience like I do it won't work esp if you have a disorder because they get concerned I will ask for too many accommodations.

Yes, I am treated like a freak and have been all of my life. I've never fit in anywhere. I walked on eggshells all my childhood trying to fit in and trying to avoid another beating. I started growing a beard when I was around ten/eleven years old, and that just made it worse. People have to be willing to be friendly towards you in order to "network."

I suppose thats not 100% accurate, there are mcjobs here and there but there are not too many real job postings and I am guessing when there are there are likely at least 100 people applying.

Most of the people on welfare are already working full-time jobs.

The stepping stones that once led out of poverty have fallen away, and will never be replaced until wages begin keeping up with the cost of living.
