I think your calculation is wrong.

There are plenty of things you can do in life that are productive and provide you with leisure time that don’t also mean you can destroy the lives of others.

You might as well argue for slave labor. Because that’s certainly one way to be productive and have a lot of leisure time. But it’s wrong. None of this exists in a vacuum. Why should other people suffer so you can have free time?

Find a better way.



Have you gotten confused about the topic?

The court can already do this if the ruling holds which is why we are discussing it in the first place. Your phrasing it as if it's up to individual members of society to decide to impose on each other. If you think this is relevant, can you describe how?
