I gotta say, part of me admires this guy. He says his job in the morning is to make sure the sun is up and the girls are walking around. My job in the morning is to run around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to put out fires in my solo legal practice. Who is the wiser man? I think it's a real question. Why not take it easy. Why should I bust my butt for the privilege of being taxed to pay for others?

I've worked my ass off for over forty years in a row. I really understand the temptation to fold my arms and live like this guy, I must say. You know, the truth is that you really could live well on little or no money at all. It's not just EBT cards. There are free meals all over the place in church basements. You can get a shower at the homeless shelter. You can get free clothes. Medical care is free for the poor, too. Seriously, why am I busting my hump like this, when I too could have the sunshine and the surf all day, every day?

And that's ultimately when the system collapses, when more and more people reach that same conclusion, eventually it reaches the point of no return.
