The people in this picture worked too, then the system collapsed due to rampant financial speculation and they were made destitute. Along with hundreds and thousands of others. People literally starved to death during this time.

If your response to the idea that perhaps things could be better for the people who work and contribute labour for your stuff is "well if you don't like it, go live in the wilderness", you suck.
