It's a great company, and I'm sorry they're getting a bad rap in this post. I should have been more general and said, "Slackers working part time in the service industry." I chose to use McDonald's as an example because of Julio Osegueda.<br/><br/>There is always work to be done. Always. It just might not be the kind of work a particular unemployed person would want to do. But that is not my problem, and I don't want a chunk of my hard earned paycheck being taken away from me to support someone that does nothing but work part time at McDonald's and then goes home to play their PS3. I would rather DONATE that money to a family with parents truly trying to make it, spending their free moments playing with their kids and helping with homework. <br/><br/>It is not charity when the government comes in and confiscates money that I have earned and gives it to people that they deem worthy of it; people like Julio Osegueda and Peggy Joseph and Henrietta Hughes.<br/><br/>You are not a victim, and no one owes you anything, and for the government to say otherwise is condescending to that person. It says, "Here, have a handout, because I know you're not really capable of ever rising above your current position. Don't worry, you wouldn't want to anyway, because if you ever do make it, you'll be paying taxes out the ears to support the drop-out slackers living at home with their parent and working a part time job in the service industry."

The people who try day after day to get a job and can't get better than McDonalds, or even worse, the people who were told they were over qualified to work at McDonalds but no place else will hire them.
