It is not just a matter of working; but rather the acknowledgment of basic human rights. See Harvest of Shame, CBS Reports, Edward R. Murrow, Correspondent (Nov. 1960). Human rights dont exist in a vacuum; but only within the framework of established social structure. What sort of society can exist without social welfare programs? And, without taxes, how are such programs to be provided? Beyond this lies only the uncertainty of uncivilized life where there is no society, and life, as Hobbes put it, is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan (1651).
good grief..all so PRETTY. but then there is REALITY.
