A strong work ethic may make a lot of sense if you're primarily working for yourself and your family. The author of the How To Drop Out document seems to be more concerned with the great majority of the public who slaves away to make ends meet while the boss gets richer (often, obscenely richer) -- which is of course inherent in the capitalist system. I would argue that a work ethic under these conditions is not decent at all, and looking at the big picture may even be immoral because the worker is not rewarded proportionally to their work.
