If someone doesn't participate in doing the work that needs done to maintain a society should they be living at the same level of comfort as others who work 40 or more hours a week? Anyone who works hard and diligently doesn't want to give it away to someone who is capable of work but just doesn't want to work. It is a fact that if you work hard and long enough you will raise yourself up to the middle class. Something I experienced.
Some people just like to be lazy. Why climb a mountain if you are just satisfied to look at it? Work is just that... Work, a four letter word for me. .. I work... but only if I have to... Does a lion hunt on a full stomach?? I don't mind being low-class because I favor lazy over busy, but if any class ruins environments with work, that becomes a messy class.
What IS a handout to you? you mean capital? money? when it ONLY applies to families or individuals or when it applies to corporations and mega oligarchs?
"And that way of life is absolutely fine, as long as handouts aren't expected, or taken, from the working poor or middle class."... Mice thought, but if workers take much from natural environments, and leave lazy people without any sustenance, then it's war isn't it? .
I was on the way home and spotted a guy thumbing a ride. When he saw me he turned and walked. I stopped up the road and waited for him. He said thanks and said a guy in a Mercedes, I never thought you would stop. We talked, he told me he and his wife had lost everything due to her liver cancer. They lost their phone to non payment, were homeless. I took him to the phone store handed him all I had. That I didn't consider a handout, he was due far more than I had. Took him to the shelter I support. We suck as a country. Most countries have housing, healthcare and education. Yes, we suck.
Wizard,
"In a relativity free society there are always 3 classes: High, middle and low." Isn't that a most pressing problem ?

Redreamer,
"What IS a handout to you? you mean capital? money?"
Exactly. If capitalists didn't own or claim everything, they wouldn't need to hand-out handouts.
imo, capitalists don't do handouts, they take a cut from what is yours and act like they earned it without showing you the spreadsheet.

Landru thank you for being kind. Yes this US does suck.
Each according the their needs. Works for me.
Absolute nonsense.
