There are probably very few people on this list who don't work for a living - or did, and are now retired. Lots of us work very hard. The controversy is over whether intellectual labor is a lesser form of work, somehow less authentic, less useful, less moral. Manual work, especially the kind done by men, gets set up as "real" work, and everything else is done by spoiled pussies.
