i wonder if Kline is his wife's or his husbands last name???
Was this doosh wearing flannel pajamas and drinking hot chocolate when he wrote this?
Evidently Pollutico is fine with having nothing to redistribute as long as no one is permitted to work.
I saw this on Twitchy.
Apparently the writer is a “Professor of Leisure”.
Yep, I expect to see a push for French-like 35-hour workweeks.
In God’s first Covenant with man (before the fall), everything was created and provided for him and he needed nothing. But God provided “work”, or a task, for him. He was to tend the garden. God know from day one (or, perhaps, day six) that man needed work to do - tasks to accomplish. It is only in these later generations that retirement and fulfillment have been re-defined as “not having to work”. So now even the young want in on it! But that is no how we were made, and it is not how we “work”.
Because they fricking know that they will have to subsidize all those who choose not to do so.
Oh, come on — now they are just getting downright Silly.
They want people to just “exist” on govt. handouts? What a life.
SLACKERS UNITE!
I hear this question from time to time, and my usual reply is, "Why not? Are you 'better' than I? Do you have something *better* to do with your time?" Maybe I'm just a grouch or something, because I usually don't get very positive responses.
All these things are "work." If you don't do it, who will?
What if everyone chooses to not do it? Do we all just sit around and stare at each other, waiting for the other person to kill that chicken?

Not ALL the time, once in a while might be nice, though.
This is the same pinko claptrap they spew in Europe. Exactly what the left says to justify the 35 hour work week and other socialist agenda items.
With the GOP’s big push for amnesty, I don’t think that they do (want us to work all the time). Why should Americans have to work when we’ve got millions of Mexicans who will work for us?
In order to pay taxes to Democrats. What’s so hard to understand that?
Why didn’t Politico mention that everybody needs to be a taxpayer and work 12 hours a day for the next 20 years in order to pay off the ungodly Democratic national debt?
Because no legitimate government is empowered or obligated to perform what would otherwise be a crime (mega-grand theft) , on behalf of those who choose not to work.
Letting the indolent starve to death does not distress me one bit, ethically, morally, socially, religiously or in any other sense.
Legal disclosure to the morons who can't distinguish party affiliation from IQs under 70: I am a lifelong registered democrat.
i wonder if Kline is his wife's or his husbands last name??? I wonder how many bosses will go along with full time employees requests to cut back hours to remain subsidized in exchanges. If somebody is on a production line at a small company and the boss needs them to work overtime to fill an order, the employee can't just no..
It’s not a ‘good thing’ when middle class taxpayers have to pick up the slack for those who have decided, “I just don’t feel like working anymore, and hey, since Obamacare, I can still have health insurance, and some schlub who is still working gets to pay for it!”
