Who is responsible for providing for people who choose not to contribute?

I’m not working away all day when I could be persuing a hobby and still getting paid just so someone else can persue a hobby and get paid

I would think being an elite athlete is way beyond just a hobby.

Running a few laps around the field every day, yes a hobby. Being faster or able to run farther than 95% of the Australian population, that’s way beyond hobby levels.

These are activities that only exist for the sake of the participants and are not financially self-sufficient

They may be super intense hobbies, but if they aren’t jobs or charitable services, they are still hobbies

I’m not talking about luxuries or even a comfortable life, I just think that everyone should have enough to live under a roof and have enough to eat healthy every day.
