Can you please spell out what counts towards being a productive member in your mind? Let's start a list, please put yes/no next to the items below and add items as you see fit. I am just trying to understand your logic.
1. Physical work (day labors, construction work), professional work (engineers, doctors, accountants, lawyers, other office workers), other trades
2. Mostly mental work (writers, poets, artists)
3. Active investors (who manage their own money)
4. Passive investors (others manage their money)
5. Politicians
6. Social activists
7. Wall street bankers (who manage other people's money)
8. Disabled people (who once contributed and can't do it anymore)
Others are welcome to add to the list. We can even consider to make it a poll later on.
