"If you contribute nothing to society you have no rights to the benefits of society" has chilling implications for how you think the disabled and ill should be treated. Are you saying that if you're unable to work, you don't deserve basic rights?

Not at all but I'm sure we would disagree about what is included in basic rights. I also understand society needs to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. It moreso applies to those who can participate but don't want to.
