You have to wonder at alleged human beings who take as their basic premise that anyone who doesn't agree with them has got to be lazy, unemployed and unemployable and lacking in ambition. I don't know of anyone who takes this position. I do know people, including me, who believe that when the masses are able to suckle at the teat of government without limitation, some substantial percentage of them will do so until the day they die rather than to develop into productive members of society. Unfortunately, there is an element of animal nature that is satisfied with mere existence. Even more unfortunately, when government is removing the incentive to be productive at the same time, more and more people show up at a limited number of government teats for their daily feeding until such time as there aren't enough teats to go around. Anarchy results.
