>the wantonly idle This is a really silly phrase: achieving idleness and ease is the very purpose of work.

  There is a vast difference between "idle" in terms of enjoying the fruits of your labors, vs "idle" in terms of enjoying the confiscated fruits of the labors of others. It's the difference between retiring early vs living on welfare checks.

    There's a vast ideological difference to you.

      The difference is between "I did the work and am living off my own productivity" vs "I didn't do the work and expect other producers to feed me". Huge difference, unless you reject the notion of ownership - which has repeatedly been proven an unsustainable ideology.
