I say please and everyone I know works. If people aren't working either they need help to find work or they can't be bothered. People who can work but don't should get less but not everyone knows what everyone else is doing either.
I think it's ok to have standards.
I'm not sure why you waited till it was settled to bring it up again. It's just asking for it to drag on. I'm pretty sure everyone's heard all there is to say about it.
