There are 30 million people who receive government assistance
Are you claiming that there are 30 million better paying jobs waiting for them?
Yes, there are better-paying jobs waiting for them IF the employee works to improve themselves. If they're working at Walmart, they can attend the training and education courses the company provides free to move up the ladder. If they're good with their hands and are not interested in moving up with Walmart, they can go to HVAC school at the local technical college.
There are millions of opportunities, you simply have to be willing to WORK for them and WANT THEM, not want them, but WANT THEM!
