If you haven't had the wherewithal to go look into this and point out specific ideas, theories and history that back up the idea that "Unemployed people are lazy". Which is an utterly repugnant, divisive reactionary opinion that reeks of a person either running from a poor background and had luck, or has NO IDEA what it is to be poor... then... yeah.
To demand proof from those who set out simple, well demonstrated - historically and theoretically - concepts that have been around for almost 200 years... well. yeah.
