I partially agree with that. But on the other had "everyone needs a job no matter how useless it is" is a very communist rhetoric. That's why some people in Vietnam are employed as direction indicators on buses which have busted light direction indicators (the job basically involves rindign on buses and leaning out the exit doors waving their hands in direction the bus is about to turn to warn the passers-by and other motorists.
)
See what I mean? Sure, find them a job. But a job that's USEFUL. If they work just to feel less useless they're still representing a burnen on society just as they would if they did nothing. Simply 'cause the tax payers give them handouts for jobs that are totally obsolete.
