I think part of it for me is that there's a huge difference between "don't have a job" and "don't work". There's a perception that if people don't have jobs, they'll just sit around eating government cheese and watching tv all day. But I think hard work is in our bones, at least the bones of the interesting people. Heck, even if a majority sit around doing nothing all day, if we give those creative, hardworking people the opportunity and resources to act, they'll do amazing things.
And personally, I think the need for a "job" is the #1 impediment to creative, productive work by the people engaged enough to do just that.

Yes, that's the point. It won't happen by itself though, and pretending that it's not an urgent issue isn't helping.
