Are you saying that you do not work voluntarily but under duress, e.g. to avoid starvation?

In any case, just to be clear... are you blaming our economic system, capitalism for this? I am asking, because it is a common thing to do; blaming capitalism for everything that is the fault of the Government. After all, capitalism is about working less to earn more. This alone is in conflict with "work to live". Plus the market is a voluntary concept. The Government interferes with the market, and creates all sorts of horrible financial incentives. We have an interventionist economy, and it is not doing too well, I agree with you on that. People should support each other more. Our web of social support is not satisfactory. We have the technology to "retire" many people, but if we do that, they cannot get money, and not getting money is a problem indeed. The Government "creates" all sorts of useless jobs we could do without just so people can earn money. We should be able to work less, and live just as well, if not better; which is what capitalism - our economic system - is about.

That said, existence has externalities. Humans take food, water, produce waste, damage things, require shelter, etc. and someone has to cover that and you could always work to cover it or go join a commune to cover it if your Government has not made it illegal.
