I was still talking about the poverty of the working man in the sense of time and freedom. A lot of people choose to work more than they need.

I don't see my behaviour as abuse though, I go through the motions that are asked of me and for that I get money. Completely legitimate. The times are a-changing anyway, things have become more automatised and efficient and will continue to become even more so. In the meanwhile there's more and more people every day. At one point people will have to put their protestant work ethic to rest and realise that there just aren't enough jobs around for everyone. And there aren't. In fact there have never been. Any population will always have a certain percentage that isn't employed. A pretty large part of the people on welfare would rather have a job. There aren't enough jobs for all the people on welfare. I don't even want a job. It would be a bad deal for all of us if I got in the way of their ambitions.
