Paul from MI- I do not condone stealing. I have hadmany items stolen from me over the last decade.
But.. to quote you, "I'd have a better chance of getting off if the people making the decision also didn't work and earn what they were getting. They probably would be more sympathetic to someone getting something for nothing than those who had to work for it. So maybe juries should be made up of people who have had to work, and then see part of their wages taken from them to support those who wouldn't work. Just my rant, and I'm stickin' to it!! " IMHO, it seems you are saying that any person that does not work is a thief. And only the ones that have a job should be Judge, Jury and executioner.
Paul, you understand that a lot of folks have lost their jobs due to no fault of their own? Many were downsized and their jobs were shipped overseas.
I hope you realize that the majority of these "users" are working but are paid at minimum wage. Therefore, they are qualified to receive government assistance.
Now, most jobs that are available are in the service industry which pays minimum wage. You do understand that a "minimum wage job still qualifies that person for government subsidies? ie, SNAP, heating, section 8, etc.
Many of these 'underemployed and unemployed people would love to have a job that paid enough to be able to support themselves and/or their families.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
