>If someone wants to get by on odd jobs and spend their time reading, exercising, and relaxing, why should anyone have a problem with that? The right-wing sentiment that's been whipped up various times is that this type of lifestyle leads to welfare dependence, which comes at the expense of those who have the ambition and willpower to be productive. The sense that unproductive people would be entitled to the labor and profits of productive people has evoked anger among many. I'm not sure how strongly such a sentiment holds today when it's more obvious than ever that the money supply is less controlled by those productive people and moreso by centralized banking cartels and the elites who revolve around them. And yet, the people in our society who value self-sufficiently enough to work themselves to death cannot have their resentment towards supposed careless dregs quellled by a discussion on economics. Deeply rooted personal beliefs paint reality in black and white. For some, it's just prejudice. For others, it's the grounded fear of a former life at the bottom of 3rd-world society. For them: work, order, and riches are life; while play, frivolity, and consumption are death.
