-accept-an-80000-a-year-job-
Hannity pointed out that Greenslate rides around in a Cadillac Escalade and
frequents strip clubs, all while receiving government assistance and not
working at a job that actually pays.
When Hannity asked Greenslate who he thinks pays for his food stamps and
free health care, Greenslate said, "Government, taxes, us, the people."
"Not you, because you're not paying taxes," Hannity responded.
Hannity went on to point out that nearly 60 cents out of every working
Californian's dollar goes to taxes. "You're taking their money and you just
don't seem to care," Hannity said.
"Who says I don't care?" Greenslate asked, adding that he was "thankful."
Hannity even asked Greenslate if he would take a job as a truck driver for
$80,000 a year, and Greenslate refused.
Hannity went for broke: "If I could get you a job that would pay you $80,000
a year driving a truck in North Dakota, would you take it?"
Greenslate paused for a moment to think about it: "No."
Of course most Americans actually do want to work, and only go on government
assistance if they really need it. Unfortunately, however, there are a lot
of "Jason Greenslates" out there, and their numbers are growing with each
passing year.
And without a doubt, life is tough if you are trying to survive at the low
end of the wage scale these days. It is hard enough to take care of
yourself, much less an entire family, on 9 or 10 dollars an hour.
For many, it is simply easier to give up on working for a living and depend
on the government instead.
