...core of the concept is the desire to get as many welfare recipients as possible working.

Easy Rider's tacked-on message, built to remit all intellectual sins, reminds one in its ludicrousness of Hollywood's concept of the "antiwar" film. Inevitably these films will conclude with a ringing condemnation of war; but that conclusion is undermined by the horrifying argument that has gone before--scene after scene of exhilarating battle sequences. Easy Rider's ending is equally convincing...
