I live in an EU country, I don't work and I receive welfare, which pays for food and rent.

Life is good.

You need to realize that it's machines and cheap energy who feed people, it's not labor. Machines do 95% of the work, because they are just much more efficient, so it's not really needed to make everyone work, and that's why there are so much working in fast food, sales, hotlines, taxi drivers, etc.

So go ahead, go work, but understand that work is no obligatory, we live in civilization, which means there is no reason people should starve and die because they don't work: there is enough food and shelter for everyone. I guess your taxes are somehow paying for my lifestyle.
