While I understand your point, this is a very shallow viewpoint of the mechanics that make the economy work. Its takes a person with a great degree of responsibility for the world outside of his immediate self to choose to join the workforce for the sake of the greater good despite the ability to receive what appears to be "free" money, but actually isn't.

It has been said that production is the basis of morale. Perhaps working isn't something to be completely avoided for as long as possible at the expense of those working, but perhaps something to be viewed as bettering yourself, building your earning potential in the future and adding beans to the community pot instead of taking them out.
