But why would you equate "lazy" with unethical?
That's already an assumption that could be challenged. We now don't deem someone who's unwilling to work from sun up to sun down in the rice fields as lazy or unethical, but 300 years ago that might have been the case. Why? Because now a few people grow our food so efficiently that most people can afford to be "lazy" and work 40 hours a week in an office job, or at least an air-conditioned job.

- danbmil99 13y agowhat is unethical is to work 20 hours a week when you are perfectly capable of 40, collect 40 hours worth of pay, and let people who work harder take up the slack. That is patently unfair to the ones who work the full week. Fairness matters.
