So I was reading article on the homepage about the implicit marginal tax rate and I think I got the message. Down at the bottom of the article it list all kinds of benefits I could get if I were just a little bit poorer. If I were take a $8,000 a year pay cut I would be in the right range to receive about $27,800 in benefits. Since the Constitution guarantees me food stamps, section 8, Medicaid etc why exactly do I work?
Or did I miss the message of the article?

Damn my parents for raising me right! (it's always the parents fault)

Because Marx says that labor is an absolutely vital component of your well-being, wage or no wage (in fact, he says wages are evil!).
"If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion."

A lovely gift from the Calvinist British economists.
