Just because people squat doesn't mean they don't contribute.You seem to think that only work for a wage contributes to society but what about social cohension, cultural production, solidarity, supporting local struggles -- these contributes in many ways in improving peoples lives than your National Insurance and income tax. And to suggest that most squatters don't work is not true, many need to work and others find others means of survival - yes the benefit system is one like the other 4 million people who claim benefit insuring at least to a minimum people are starving to death on our streets!
And tell me this what does paying a landlord 2/3 thirds of your wage contribute to society? The only contribution is in the landlords pockets for his own profit!

2./ Just because you are employed does not mean you are making a contribtuion to
a./ society (sic)
b./the welfare of the planets people and environment.
With regard to this, this country's economy is based up[on the arms trade, robbing Afica blind, starting war, robbing the poor worldwide form the square mile. Your plasma screen tv is somebody elses lack of acces to water. Know you REAL fucking history scumbag.Biggest growth sector in this country is around policing e.g. debt collection, adnministration, corporate law, community sneaks arm, etc etc.
The world would be a better place if a lot of people in this country were not employed in doing what they are doing.
Biggest benefit thieves are large multinationals, non doms, etc who steal billions of pounds a year of us along with the PFI consulatants and overpaid MPS and council mangement with their crooked construction industry mates. Poorly paid woprkers need tax credits to support wankers like Walmart-Asda.
The employenmnt scam of the protestant work ethic was the church trying to conmtrol the indigenouis population who had their land stolen and were kicked into factories to make rubbish ( rathr oversimplified but pretty accurate globally ) .
Largest squat movement in this country was of the squaddies coming bnack from war to find themselves being ripped off by the government as usual. Like today you will find the large part of the MOD budget gpoes to PFI greedy twats e.g Chaneys mates.
The land is ours and so is your teeth if I see you fascist git.
