You don't work, you don't eat.

It's not so bad to work so that others can eat as well. (There are those that can not work).

Working for those that think and act like they are entitled is another story. It is good to ask the question did you put in an honest day's work?

[Fransisco]

Then there are those that can but don't.

Which reminds me of a joke, what's the definition of a left-winger?

Someone who feels a great debt to society which they propose to pay off with your money.
