"If they are, WHY? couldn't that time be spent working instead? There are jobs out there, people just don't want them."

Some people are disabled, or caring for elderly people and or children. There are many reasons a person may not be able to work.

I know there are those issues we DO agree on, and thats not whats this was all about. I merely didnt like any self rightious attitude toward people who cant afford to become members, for whatever reason.

P.S. I'm glad you now agree "there are indeedp eople in this country or maybe others who canot afford a membership" as it settles another disagreement we had earlier.
