<i>Imagine a world in which 50% of people worked, and the other half lived on basic welfare income. How do you think the 50% that worked would feel about the other half?</i><p>The point is that people would choose whether to work or not. Everyone would have that choice - live on a basic, low income, or top it up by working. If you&#x27;ve chosen to work then it&#x27;s unlikely you&#x27;ll resent those who choose not to.<p>Furthermore, even if that wasn&#x27;t the case, think about the number of people who hate their jobs and resent going to work now. Getting that down to 50% of people hating their job would be an improvement.
