It's like they stop caring about becoming successful MBA's or making lots of money by investing in the stock market. You can make good money of the denial of health insurance claims and military suppliers. Heck, more than a few think the military might actually not be as noble as it appears and are actually just lackeys for some kind of global money making scheme and that our politicians sometimes don't care as much about the issues that affect them as much as the ones that affect big business.
Of course I just laugh at them. Silly pot smokers. You are wasting your life thinking you can live like some sort of modern Native American who refuses to profit off the suffering of others or take part in this fabulous system they are born into that showcases the evolution of our species and is the shining pinnacle of mankind's struggle for freedom, equality and liberty for all people of the world.
