'unique' people working less still promotes the idea that it is socially acceptable to do. signals or rough standards are necessary due to limited information and decision-making capabilities. sauerkraut with voyage of james cook.
too stupid to help themselves. if people won't act, nothing will be fixed. responsibility for own future. people who 'exploit' the system or 'defect' by ignoring society's problems, vs people who put off their own goals waiting for problems to be fixed; second group cannot rely on the first group to help but must reinforce each other. (can link to 'having it all'?)
standard of 'no more government spending' result of 'lack of wealth' and 'subsidizing wall street profits' ideas, both of which are wrong (exception: not lending to banks during crash would have led to higher unemployment). (US Treasury slides again?) people are directly responsible for government's inaction through voting power. political parties just scoring 'points' like being able to appoint Supreme Court justices while ignoring solutions to economic problems.
for most people, only a 'price' for stupidity if other people change their opinions of them. "not wanting higher taxes or inflation" is a valid reason to oppose government spending; "we can't afford to/too much corruption" is not.
occupy corporate profits?
example of jobs created when CEO works less.
image of male leaders associated with high profits and greed, what deters female leaders is also precisely what makes a good target for popular criticism
people who feel guilty sometimes most supportive, but cannot rely on for critical actions or violating convention
opportunity for everyone, not just a select few with connections
