JFK once said that (in)famous saying:

It seems to be a very popular saying around the world. You know what that means? I know what that means:
It means we should all be slaves for the state!
You - human beings - are born into this world not to have a good life, but to provide soldiers for the military and to provide wage slaves for the industries.
If you want happiness in this world, I suggest you go take it for yourself. Become a draft dodger. Leech on welfare benefits. That is the ONLY way to achieve the MEANING OF LIFE in this s**thole world!
Vote for political parties who want to implement Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) and abolish conscription (of all sorts - including any labor/work duty ie. alternatives to military service).
Patriots and nationalists alike: Go to HELL, and STAY THERE!
You do realize that if everyone or even half of the people thought that way, there wouldn't be enough tax payers, which would lead to the government being unable to pay any benefits. And then people like that would starve etc.
No. Basic Income would need to be implemented then, ensuring everyone a genuinly free choice to work and pay taxes or don't work and recieve free money which is less than if you work for money and pay taxes.
This way there is an incentive to work and pay taxes, but with a genuinly free choice for everyone.
I suggest you go read this:
https://basicincome.org/basic-income/fr ... questions/Besides, if everyone - as you say - would think what I think, then there would be no soldiers in any country anywhere in this world, meaning no military expenses either - leaving lots and lots and LOTS of money for welfare benefits.
But how much less? It would have to be a
lot less in order for majority of the people to still want to work and pay for the living of those who won't work, but the idea of the whole thing wouldn't work if it wasn't enough to pay for necessary stuff like food, roof over one's head etc. And then there'd be the question of what's necessary stuff that everyone should have a right to have and what's something you shouldn't be given but you should earn. Is it okay for non-working (those who
choose to not work despite being able to) to have their own apartment/house or should it be enough for them to live in dorms? If they live in dorms, should they have a right to their own rooms or live with roommates? Even if majority of people agreed that everyone should have what is needed for reasonable life regardless if they work or not, there'd still be the matter of what people consider reasonable living. Some might say that if a person can work but chooses not to, he/she should still have a right to an apartment of their own, while others might think that a person like that should be grateful to have a shared room in a dorm.
