At least the CEOs are employed and heavens they may have worked a lot and made a lot of sacrifices to get to that position. Nothing...NOTHING is either completely right or wrong.
But if you are lazy you are lazy.

Not sure if it is that easy. Other things might come into play for those not working. The US has a very good governmental system compared with many other governments around the world but it is very far from perfect. We still have innocent people in prison for instance for any number of reasons some of these though are the corruption, incompetence and/or laziness of people who are working. We may have people who are not mentally ill stuck in mental hospitals for the same reason as the innocent in prison.
Other countries probably have many more innocent people in prison and/or "troublemakers" for the powerful in mental hospitals where they do not belong.
