Yes work is the means, the means to earn an income. Do you live in a country that has a big enough social safety net that you trust it to provide you the necessary income and healthcare so that you can just paint and play chess all day? I certainly don't... I live in the U.S.A :-/

Safety nets only work while there are people paying (a lot of) taxes.

I guess you could tax the companies and people still earning money at like 95% or something.
