• i’m not asking you to do anything, unless of course you’re a member of the super wealthy who don’t pay a fair share in taxes. The burden should be on the wealthiest individuals who profit off our backs and keep us in this perpetual capitalist hell.

      The good news is that Capitalism cannot be perpetual, so the Hellscape will end at somepoint.

      There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the wealthy should pay much, much more than they do. They also should work for their money rather than spending time on golf courses or wanking themselves on twitter.

      That does not alleviate the basic duty of every single person, capable of working, to be able to earn his own maintenance.There is plenty of people unable to do so (or temporary unable to do so) and these should be helped.

        You should read OP’s edit, cause you sound like an ass. An why the hell do you want to be a slave to work so damn bad, and think others should be forced into that mentality? You do you, but I garauntee if you were in the position of a billionaire, you would be doing the same. No one wants to work. No one needs to work 40hrs. If everyone could make enough from a 20hr work week, im willing to bet their would be a hell of a lot less “leeches” as you so unemphathetically call them.

            Clearly. Just as no one needs to give a fuck what you think.

            Its unhealthy, and a horrible way to go about life. Please seek help in understanding why you think everyone needs to work in awful conditions, and not break.

              It is definitely unhealthy and horrible to be a leech all your life. I somehow think I just found another benefit grabber.

                You should really define what you mean is a leech. Because if me, a blue collar 40hr worker is a leech, then you must be simply pathetic.

                  Can you actually read? I responded to the post of a person who is on benefits because he choose to do so, despite being able to work.

                    Can you read? You clearly tried to say that I would have to be a leech to have the gall of understanding why people do what they have to do.

                    You have literally zero context to know they are able to work. You also clearly didn’t read their edit.
