I know that I would work if I didn't have to worry about necessities. In fact, I'd be working simply for the benefit of those I could help, rather than trying to survive.
2 :
who fears it? anyone who spends a significant amount of time in an inner city for one.
3 :
It means I don't want to have to pay for others lazy a##es even though I already have to.
4 :
Simple greed is a motive to get out of the mundane
5 :
The work begins anew. The hope rises again. And the dream lives on.
6 :
What does it say about me? It says I have studied history. Look, if you take one person and tell him he has to work and see most of his paycheck go to a "fund" to help those who don't work, eventually, he's going to get on the receiving end of the "fund" and let others work. Eventually, you end up with too many people on the receiving end and too few people on the working end. That's when the whole thing collapses. Seriously, what in the hell could be easier to understand?

People still love their unnecessary crap. They would still work for a new TV or car or some other materialistic desire. I guarantee they would still work.... especially in America.
8 :
People have hedonistic tendencies, also each individual doesn't care about everything and everyone for the simple reason of -out of sight out of mind-, if they aren't within sight, they lose the human element, and thus are generally not considered. There would be no problem if these things were somehow free, but if they come at the cost of those who produce more, this creates a system that rewards those who produce less. People generally are able to reconize either consciously or unconsciously if a reward systems is present and who it rewards.
9 :
Would people still try to get laid? Then yeah, at least some of them will keep working.
10 :
Show us one working functional society of significance and duration that isn't motivated by self interest. BTW, you're free to setup some hippyville in the woods somewhere to test your thesis - I don't think you'll like the results.
11 :
I think a lot of people work so that they can make something better of themselves rather than just settle for the basics that the government gives (welfare, public housing, etc.).
12 :
From what I have heard the president say, people will not be given the opportunity to be idle if he gets his way. In the future people will be evaluated on their productivity and assigned their personal value based upon that. The value system has already been devised. The more productive a person is, the more benefits they will receive. Read Sustainable Development. It is plainly stated and planned for our future in a communist state. UN Agenda 21. It is planned for the 200 member countries of the UN. Look it up under United Nations, their own web site.
13 :
People work much more than necessary to fulfill their basic needs, They work because they want luxuries, because the would be bored if the didn't and because it gives them a feeling of satisfaction to do something useful.
14 :
Very few people would work as much as they do now. Some would still work. They would just work 10 hours a week instead of 40. Many would not work at all. Only a few would work just as obsessively regardless of money. So productivity would decline considerable. Also, some jobs are not as enjoyable. Many would continue to make cookies even if they weren't paid. But few would go from house to house to pick up the garbage. And who would by an expensive truck to go and pump out sewer systems without the financial incentive?

I am always amazed how many Americans seem not to be aware about the issues with healthcare relying on FOX and other sources to spread misinformation about the healthcare system of the USA and those abroad. First of all, Obama wants to make insurance more available to all and change the system so that it is cheaper. He also wants change so that the insurance companies find it harder to get out of paying for treatment. The system he is proposing looks similar to that which works in Holland and Switzerland where private companies are involved in providing insurance. Second, of course universal health-cover sucks. That is why we in Western Europe have it. We think, hmm, our healthcare system sucks. I know, lets keep it. I guess that is the same with Japan and Canada as well. Third, Obama campaigned on reforming the healthcare system. He said he wanted to make insurance more available and he was elected by the American people to do this. FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids both for kids aged under one and those under five than western European countries with universal health coverage. FACT - American insurance companies push up prices and work to stop paying out claims on those they cover. FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet. That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, Cuba, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage. Many do not agree with my arguments, but I can back mine up. Those against them can not. Last of all if you do not like the policies that Obama was elected to bring in, he can always be voted out of office in 2012.

um, this already happens, Its called welfare, food stamps, and medicaid.And according to statistics, quite a few don't work. Then you have the overacheiver's who support the whole group of users. If you think everyone's going to work without having to and still live above the poverty line, you are greatly mistaken my friend
