Perhaps I should have just said "able."

There's able bodied and then there's able minded.

I can't understand a person that doesn't want to work.  A stay at home mom is a job but someone in their household should be footing the bills.

You should do what you can to help build and advance our society. Even if you can't find an appropriate paid job, even if you have so much money that you don't have to work. There are also a lot of people out there who, although they have jobs, they are really people who add nothing to society. I am sure that any of you could list a dozen of these off the top of your head.

If you are lucky enough to be rich off the hard work of your fathers then great. If you are like the rest of us then you should have to work like the rest of us. The american dream can be a small one but it is also part of our free capitalist society to aspire for wealth. Nobody should be able to say we can't work our asses off all our lives then not be able to give it to our kids.  Life isn't fair. Not all people are equal. Some are harder workers, smarter, more talented etc....You do your best with what you've got and deal with it.

I stay at home, but I still do something here. I don't think anyone should just sit on their ass. Even if you are rich, you could atleast get involved with some sort of hobby. Being inactive is bad for your health.

The super-wealthy shouldn't take jobs away from those that need the income.
