  This is such an antiquated heavy handed perspective. How much work is the right amount of work? 40 hours? 80 hours? Are people working 2 jobs but still not making ends meet not 'pulling their own weight'? How does supply and demand figure into this? Are people who get automated out of a job no longer pulling their own weight? Does the fact that someone exploits their employees and only pays them 10% of the value that they generate while keeping the 90% meant that business owner is just 'pulling their own weight'? According to your missing definition of 'pulling your own weight' slavery back in the 1800 could be viewed as just people 'pulling their own weight'. Are people in towns where no jobs are available even though they want to work...just not 'pulling their own weight'? Your simplifications are not well thought out and frankly stupid.
