Excellent - good back peddling. You've just taken your first step towards seeing the world in more than just black and white.

Because I'm not a materialist. Being retired, I have all I need - minus the toys and expensive crap so many spend their whole lives being a slave to. I'm happier than I've ever been, work harder, read and enjoy education more and am in the best shape of my life.

Damn.. we backslid. We were doing so GOOD with you! Lemme see if I can put this in real simple language for you: There are many reasons people do what they do - to assume it
must be because they're lazy is narrow minded.
For me, because I'm fortunate enough to have thought ahead to my retirement, I can do so simply and spend my time doing the GOOD I've always wanted to do. To assume one must be lazy is just silly; and a good indicator of just how judgmental our culture has become.
Stew in your anger and judgmentalism; let it fill you and release all the diffused hate you feel. The good news is you've got a *lot* of company - this kind of blame-hate is blossoming wildly now a days. The bad news is that your kind will continue to drag down the U.S. with their lack of foresight and compassion.
Good luck
