Why don't poor people just get jobs? Because they already did.

A majority of poor people who can work (ie are not disabled, elderly, or students), do: 37 percent of those eligible for work are not working.
The contrast between hardworking Americans and shiftless, lazy, poor people is a favorite of Republicans as they try to cut safety net programs like food stamps or housing assistance. But—even if you believe that people who don't work should starve—it's a contrast based on a lie. In reality, a majority of people living in poverty who can work, do work:
The top bar shows that 35.2 percent of the poor between the ages of 18 and 64 in 2013 were considered not currently eligible to work because they are retired, going to school, or disabled. The other 64.8 percent of working-age poor are currently eligible to work. The second bar shows us that among these currently-eligible workers, 62.6 percent are working and 44.3 percent are working full-time. Of the working-age poor eligible for employment, 37.4 percent are not working—a share that includes the 3.3 million unemployed poor people currently seeking a job.
those who are put in that right wing bag is all part of the plan to make the social networks and any program that requires what is established as the top 1%'s money from being used for anything other than their agenda America's overlords are what keeps the status quo and increases it yearly in their favor.  the republican agenda supports that oligarchy and they pay them for that support we call it bribe money they call it politics we also call it failing to do their job as described they call it business as usual we call it dismissing and ignoring us they call it acceptable collateral inevitability. 

we also call it their responsibility to serve and protect our rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness denied, they call it broken family with no father or work ethic other than drug dealing.  so they are saying we are the one's shooting ourselves in the foot.  we call it classic republican truth dodge, they sell it as they know best the Black dynamic and causal effects, we call hypocritical White power structure keeping their lie going into the millennium.
