Ah sorry, I misunderstood. But actually, the point still stands.

I hear this argument in Israel all the time. The unemployed are just 
spoiled, foreign workers and Palestinians do long hours of menial labor 
for low pay and yet are happy to have the job and even send monies back 
to their families and all the unemployed Israelis are expecting high 
paying cushy jobs, so they instead leach off the system and complain.
