I 
 am a slave under the system currently.  If I don't work for my paycheck 
 weekly, there won't be any handouts for me and I will eventually starve, or 
 freeze or something else not so pleasant.  Do you think my actions are 
 justifyable or hypocritical?  If not what are my other options?

I think most of us are in that position. We have to do what we can while 
embracing a dream we didn't conceive, just for the privilege of living life 
with some degree of comfort. We are subject to what the bosses impose on us 
as long as they remain the boss. 

As long as a person is fighting all that, while trying to survive, (s)he is 
not a hypocrite. Just always keep a perspective where you realize that there 
is something infinitely better than slaving to some twit in a $2000 suit, and 
you shouldn't need to justify your primal instinct of survival to anyone.

The real hypocrites are the fuckers who get up on the podium and rant about 
freedom, equality, free trade, justice for all and overall prosperity, while 
selling those they claim to speak for out to the corporations who pay to keep 
them where they can fuck the rest of us over some more. You know, 
politicians, judges, lawyers, religious leaders, teachers, cops, labor union 
bosses, celebrities, and so on.

Peace
