When was the exact point it that someone decided that all human's should work and that a government ruled over them, I find it intriguing that someone thought this whole idea up in times gone past. Does anyone know who it was.

Probably way back in the stone age when the biggest and toughest caveman said "I'm in charge and I'll beat up anyone who disagrees" Thereafter all the others had to hand over to the big ugly part of all the food that they got, (and so TAX was invented). Sooner or later however, along came a younger and tougher caveman who thumped the old boss over the head and took his place. Of course, over time, the big boss collected a gathering of hangers on and and general parasites and so GOVERNMENT was invented.

I don't think that working is an idea that someone in the past thought of and encouraged others to follow. It is more of a life's reality that people discovered themselves. The fact that they have to eat drove them to look for food. The fact that they have to protect themselves from the elements draw them to caves and live and later build their homes. Today we are working not because it is an idea that we chose to believe but we do it for survival.
have fun!

Why we need to work, coz we need food for our belly, roof over our heads, we need clothings, educations, cars, desires and etc. and in order to get them is to earn money, and to earn money we need to work. But yes, we need to pay tax, so that we have something to get benefits from the government when we retired or we get redundant and free health care.
Happy myloting.
