Even ignoring the fact that it isn't true (work can be its own reward), it ignores the point.
In a society of well-fed, healthy, well-adjusted individuals, *everybody's* work is more productive and fruitful. The hard-working types actually end up better off in the long run from supporting the (theoretically) non-working types.
