I'm talking about people who choose not to work. I've known plenty of them, but I've already discussed that in another comment here.
I will add that most working class people I know make too much money to qualify for benefits. They already earn more than minimum wage. They make too much to qualify for expanded Medicaid, or grants for college.
Also, fifty years ago, working class people made good money in construction. But even thirty years ago, those wages were already depressed by illegal immigrant labor. And when working class people complained, leftist journalists and politicians whose jobs weren't threatened by immigration dismissed those complaints as racism.
Most leftists know nothing about the real concerns of working class people.
