Platt: > When I was 8 my grandfather often said, "If you don't work, you don't eat." Today if you don't work you're rewarded with a handout from the socialist government. What the socialists never ask is what happens when the workers wise up and discover it pays to be a freeloader. Tea party anyone?
Andre: Hey Platt, I wonder which socialist government can afford this as a hand out? Is there a true blue socialist government in existence here on earth? In China they certainly do not have it...you are thrown back onto your family or village if you happen to lose your capacity to work (temporarily or permanently). In most Western countries you are entitled to UB (unemployment benefit) if you have accrued them through enough years of (continuous) employment plus, contributed part of your pay into a UB insurance fund. Otherwise, as you say, you do not work you do not eat. And if you do not eat you do not shit and if you don't shit you die! No tea parties I am afraid. You usually find these in the circles of the ,still continuing,big business bonus cultures. Which socialist government do you have in mind?
