We will need a few workers bees.

To make it fair, we'll set it up like the military. Everybody will have a worker bee obligation of two years. You'll have the option of enlisting into the worker bees. And you will be assigned to be trained and serve in some capacity that meets society's needs. You'll get extra pay of course so you'll have more money than the couch potatoes. And if you like it you can re-enlist and make a career out of it. Also, we will need a draft for those hard to fill positions. So you might get drafted and have to spend two years cleaning public rest rooms. That would suck, but it would only be for two years. Then you could go back to chillin on the couch.
