Let's put this in simpler terms. I receive a check from my employer. A company. An entity. I am no more beholden to said employer than a welfare recipient is to the federal branch, nor is either of us sacrificing our individual freedom. Just drop that whole analogy and move on.
Yes, let's put in simpler terms. You are DOING something to earn the money and contributing to the success of a business when you have a job and actually work for your money. You then contribute that money into the economy and pay taxes.
Your employer also has a level of dependence upon you to do your job and show up every day. The government nor taxpayer has no dependence on a person receiving public assistance. What is that person contributing?
