3) your attemt to come off as better than everyone else for chopping fucking wood is failing. i'm glad you think you can be self sufficient, by all means go ahead and do what you gotta do. that's not how society works however. i suppose you want senior citizens out there splitting logs.
fyi: i and most of the people I know are very financially responsible. we enjoy the pleasures of life when we can, because we fucking can. we do this through hard work, not the government's babysitting. again, i think the constant scent of pine has made you dillusional.

4) dillusional. people have families. they work 2 or 3 jobs to support them. a lot of the people i work with put in 70-80 hours a week and then go home to their wife and kids. i agree that some people should get off their asses, but in your self-proclaimed richeousness you're fucking the hard-working middle class over.
fuck the rest of your post. your whole argument is just not feasible and you obviously live in an entirely different reality out in the middle of nowhere. and fyi, you seem to be complaining more than anyone else...
