But if you are one of the losers who got a participation trophy I understand why you resent this idea.

It's dehumanizing to reduce people to productivity.
It would be dehumanizing for you to reduce me to productivity and refuse to fund my life.

One’s paycheck or bank account might suggest a viewpoint but there are lots of exceptions.
