    Ok, I’ll bite.

    I think that if you contribute to society you are more worthy of being allowed to live. Live meaning receiving a living wage, not life or death.

    “Have a job” is one way to do that and there are many many situations in which it is more difficult for some people to “contribute” than others. But to paint anyone’s political opinion as black and white is a real right wing"ish" style attack.

    It sucks, but the libs are the lefts conduit for change. Without them we will be stuck leaning farther and farther right as the right leaners continue to actually work together to take our rights away and we waste our time infighting over stupid shit like this.

      What did the words ever do to you, to be abused in such a way?

      To live is to live.

      To need any “wage” to do that is already permitting the wrong frame to be placed around this piece of reality.

      Everyone should live. Full stop.

      If you want nice things, gold trim and giant tvs and monster trucks, then by all means, use a wage for it.

      Nobody should fear for their life because they do not labor.

        Just needed to clarify that. Had I not, I could see my words being misconstrued to meaning I believe people who don’t have a job should be killed.
