I didn't say self employed don't really work I said investors/speculators don't. You need to learn how to interpret commas pisces, so you don't misrepresent what others post.
Many self-employed work very hard. Investors do nothing of any worth to anyone but themselves and most pay little or no tax as the tax system is skewed towards giving greatest tax avoidance benefits to those who don't perform any productive work for a living.
