It's true ... they can't make us produce. But what the takers/Democrat Socialists/the Left count on is that we're so comfortable with our lifestyle that we'll put up with just about anything to preserve it. And in many respects they are correct -- that is, we have far more to lose than do the slugs of our society if (when) everything comes crashing down.

I’ve even heard some academic leftist crow that taxing producers heavily makes them work even harder to maintain their lifestyle.
