I wrote a blog article about this a while back with references to what this meme is actually quoting.

Also, the point isn’t whether people want to work or not, but rather that the moral panic keeps coming up.

Edit: read the Snopes article and got my questions answered.

Would like to have known your questions, though. All I have is your edit.

Your blog entry seems singularly focused, which left me with questions. After having read the Snope article, which was more broad and informative, my questions were answered.

Honestly not trying to criticize your blog entry, but just stating that it didn't seem as well written as a Snopes article to me.
