So I pretty much decided to say what I think on this thread.
The idea that work is slavery is only applicable to the current situation. Where there is little regulation and employers are abusing their power. Such as the case with zero hour contracts where the employee has to be available from morning to evening (or the other thing they can do is create extremely low hour jobs and then the employee needs overtime so the employer has more flexibility). It is paid but it creates severe stress on the employees and can destroy their life, being at the beck and call of their employer. There are also a lot, (A LOT) of employers currently, whom, through subtle threats, take more and more liberties with their employees. Curtailing the freedom to control their own lives.
In a society where this was not the case, it would not be such a problem. If people could work and still have a life, such as I would understand to mean by the original quote that this thread is based on. Then it would not be so bad.
Secondly. The idea that if one person pays their tax then they are directly paying for those on benefit I don't think is correct. Because it eliminates the government as a reality who may decide to use tax money for whatever they want; tax cuts for the rich, or shovelling money to the military industrial complex, or bailing out banks.
