This phrase should be revised in order to maintain a more formal style and tone. The passage uses this tone everywhere else in the text, except for this phrase. The phrase uses an accusatory tone, and implies that the working classes did not actually do much. This is an assumption that does not fit with the tone of the passage.

D) Actually do some work.
