65. no one wants to be poor but plenty don't want to work

For the life of me i can't imagine anyone not wanting to work.


then, no offense, but your imagination is v. limited

we have limited time & energy on this earth

i certainly would not waste my time working if i didn't need the $$$, most ppl dream of the day they will be retired & no longer forced into harness

i think, given choice, v. few ppl would choose to spend the best part of their lives working to enrich the top 2 percent

most work is just a waste of time meant to bring home a buck

no one chooses poverty but neither do most ppl choose work

we don't get a choice in these matters

before i was born god did not ask me if i wanted to be paris hilton and inherit my looks, riches, & fame, or if i preferred to work all my days for a fraction of what she gets just for being born

choice is not a reality for most americans, it is only real for rich ppl

i doubt anyone in yr fundie family has any great, rewarding, enriching job, but if they do, they are certainly a minority
