Interesting data, lousy polemic. The second chart seems to show that 25–54-year-old American males have been incresingly "not in labor force" over the decades since the 1950's, and the trend has been fairly stable. Other than that there's not really a lot of information to "hang your hat" from, eh? I think we should try to understand what's happening before we try to change "incentive structures", eh?
