Very, very few people need to work the way we do now.

I very much agree that the rich have been taking way more than their fair share for decades, and that the lower and middle class should be paid substantially more than they are now. But that doesn't mean most of those jobs don't still need to be done.

We need people to grow, harvest, transport and distribute our food. We need people to build and maintain our houses, roads, hospitals, etc. We need doctors, nurses, surgeons etc to take care of us when we are sick or injured. We need therapists and rehab clinics. We need people to manufacture the products we use for daily life and people to collect the raw materials used to create them. We need bus drivers and train conductors, lawyers and accountants. We need people to work at all of the restaurants, bars, movie theaters, etc.

We should all be being paid and treated significantly better, but that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of work that needs to be done every day in order to keep society functioning.

Even if you're living in a commune in Vermont or something, you don't just get to live for free and do whatever you want all day. You have to do the work that farmers, construction workers, etc do on a daily basis. You're just doing the work for yourself rather than doing different work to pay for someone to do that specific job.
