My guess is that Tom made that statement because he knows ignorance and
misconception are often an ingredient when social standpoints are being
debated.

If Tom pays taxes, gets (government based) support and basically does not
deprive himself from any human contact, he is not outside of sociaty.

A friend of mine was fired when the company simply closed the whole
department, and instead of finding a job he started working for himself.
For many reasons he can't support himself, so now he's working at a
cafetaria serving fries and cola.

Not having a job that pays the rent (with money that include taxes
being payed) in my point of view means _not_ having a job.

If you are working is a whole other discussion.
