I think we were born with an obligation to work and look after ourselves and ours, and we shouldn't be keeping the jobless because they don't see fit to work (the ones that think that, not the unintentionally unemployed), if they don't want to work, fine, but don't pay them for it! Nobody is suggesting forcing anybody to fight for the country, that should still be voluntary, and somebody thinks fighting for the country is necessary, or we wouldn't be doing it.

We are obviously obliged to care for our families, but paid work is not necessarily an obligation at birth, because not all societies do have paid work.
I'd like to live in a tribe and not have to think about paid work. Although the recent programmes showing the lives of tribes show a hard working society, its nice to see how they function off only natural things and live very fulfilling lives. I really like that idea. There dont seem to be many massive tribal wars either.
