“Get a job!” This jeer was perhaps the most frequent directed at Occupy protesters last year, and it was usually either met by “I can’t! That’s why I’m here” or “I’m already working two.” Embedded in this ever-common taunt of protesters or other counterculture figures is the belief that if you just work hard enough in America, you will succeed, that any time spent with nose away from grindstone is time wasted.
