If they contribute more in taxes than they take out and their contribution was above the per capita average. Then fine. You'll find that a lot of unemployed never reached those standards.
YourState has it right.
However, there's more to doing work than getting a paycheck. Keeps people focussed, motivated and shows them giving back to society. Also looks great on a CV when people go for interviews.
