To wit: If you're a commercial success, why are you on the dole?

In any case, your dedication to personal liberty is a noble sentiment. One ought never to allow others to enslave you. That would be, one should never allow someone the capacity to force others to support them, except of course those individuals who might be found to
engage in trade (in particular, "profitable" trade) within too close a proximity of the doleists (with my apologies to Mr. Robert Dole, who is assumed by many to be a 'dole-ee').

As to your prospects in becoming servitors, I should think that you might avoid that terrible fate. You seem quite steadfastly committed to being unproductive, seemingly expouse an ethical aversion to doing that which might be considered renumerable by others (i.e., by being what the capitalist swine call "profitable"), and seem already to have shifted the yoke to said capitalist swine in any case. It is quite rare for slavers to become 'enslaved' themselves; they are frequently too full of arrogance for such a vocation, and often compel others to "put them down", as it were.

P.S.: This Australian fellow of your truly doesn't seem all that bright. Then again, perhaps he is not picking up the check, in which case he is simply practicing good politics, and thus presumably can be excused - for the time being.
