Is Ben Stein Dissing The Unemployed? I Think So

I caught wind of this interesting back and forth today. Apparently, Ben Stein wrote a piece for the American Spectator, saying among other things that most of the unemployed he has known has bad work habits. I did not read this original piece. His article prompted this response from Aaron Crowe. That in turn prompted this redirect from Ben Stein. Again, I did not read the original article by Stein, but his redirect will suffice to show his point. I believe Crowe had a point. Stein does seem to be dissing the employed. Stein is entitled to his opinion, but he shouldn't be surprised when people have a bad reaction to it. Especially a bad reaction that is predictable from the stuff Stein put out.
