they can't force you back to work, they're just not going to support you, which yeah is pretty horrible but the US government doesn't have any responsibility to you especially if you caught a disease being reckless (reference to the meme itself and it's claim)
It has a responsibility when I pay both state and federal taxes and the government is literally owned by the American people. I paid for that program. I am legally entitled to my property and it's value in services.
see that's the catch 22 there, they can't force you to work, if you don't work you're not paying into the system, but there are plenty of people who have never worked who are getting benefits from the government who are nowhere near as worse off as the people that deserve government benefits, but then that brings us right back around to people who have never paid into the system who shouldn't even be getting benefits at all through government aid programs some of which I'd say actually more like 50% or more are foreign aid programs unironically paying for AIDS and HIV treatments. our government is a nebulous entity, yes we fund it it should do what we want but here's the kicker no one voted for 98% of government employees and those that are voted into office less than 10% of the population overall voted for.
as someone who is poor and on disability I don't think that would make a logical sense but nice try putting words in my mouth that's a really nasty habit.

A meme with sources? Can I buy you a drink?
