I don't think it's a matter of stupidity (I haven't seen the movie but have heard all about it), it's a matter of greed and laziness. Many of the people I see come through my line with five kids and baskets full of groceries could probably easily hold down a job and at least contribute to their family's needs, but it's easier to just go on food stamps and "not worry about working". XP Which really pisses me off because then you have me over here trying to apply for food stamps because my full time job doesn't pay me enough to survive on just by myself. XP And yeah, I could move to a cheaper apartment and/or get a roommate (I do intend to do the latter, actually, once my lease is up), but I'd still be squeaking by. XP So their selfishness pisses me off even more.

I think xkcd's recent strip on the whole "OMG the stupid people will outbreed us" stuff is pretty accurate. XD
