You only have as many responsibilities as you take on, and the bar of demand is entirely in your head. It's the old trap of needing to compare yourself to others to be happy. Make the workers realize this so they may free themselves, and happiness might follow. Plus we might get rid of this pesky need to consume, which is the cause of wage slavery in the first place
