Why expect snideness? It's a serious problem. But we live in a capitalist society - what's the alternative? Every time most of us work we make the boss richer, but we can't not work, can we? There's no way to stay pure in the economic realm, unless you go live in a shack somewhere and grow your own food, and I'm not about to do that!
