> people who work should get money

and they do.

> not the people who don't work

and they don't. With the exception of some basic welfare payments, which i am not opposed to, what you mentioned is what currently happens.

But you're unilaterally classifying capital as not being work would be wrong. Capital is solidified work from previous/earlier times, but unconsumed and saved.

I think they're referring to the class of people who profit from capital rather than their labour. That class profits from the labour of others. They don't have to exploit their bodies, experience, and skills (labour) to realize profits. They're the ones who, "don't work."

They're not talking about people who "don't work," and collect welfare.

Capitalists don’t work. That’s what they meant.
