The way Earth types are often spoken of as like slave labor offends and disturbs me.

Following that tangent, an earthy person who lacks imagination is liable to find things they can't immediately verify as unreal or ********. It might be a case where these ideas do in fact have some validity but the earth person does not have the capacity to conceptualize how that idea may take a material form.
Personally I tended to find that Earth signs were very "boring", "un-interesting". But as I get older, I tend to value them and their personalities more.

I agree, this can be the greatest downside to Earth. Lack of belief, even awareness, of anything that can't be perceived with the five senses. The world in between its material lines simply does not exist. I think this also causes misunderstandings and even dislike by people of other elemental dominances who can't fathom or really don't care for someone who can't see beyond the concrete world.
Yeah, but on the flip side, if people can't fathom the concrete world then they can just get right out. If you can't value the concrete then why are you still alive??? To be alive is an earthy thing.

So only earth alone is necessary for life? Explain.

I have deep respect for Capricorn individuals.
Well look at animals. They don't really think; they don't really feel; they don't really do fire (whatever fire is in this case). They do a ton of Earth though. You practically (lol) only need Earth element to live on Earth.
Personally, I think Taurus is ruled by Earth and Taurus is an Earth sign. We are of the Earth so all we need is the Earth. Kind of.
For humans though and maybe all life actually the other elements are important. But if you can't do Earth then I don't understand what you're doing here then. To be alive is kind of restricting. If you're emotional, then die and have your spirit go up with the other spirits so you can connect with them. To be of the Earth you can't think as fast. Information is only available to you based on your environment (earth). Fire is like the joy or bliss. To live on Earth there isn't always a time to joyful or to feel alive. You can feel more alive when you're dead because you're not bogged down by an Earth body. You can stretch far and wide with your fieriness.
Let's talk about how earth signs make great food
Here's how my buddy piercethevale describes the earth signs via his "runic explination of the zodiac":
Taurus: Earth on earth: Plains, valleys, pastures
Virgo: Earth under earth: Caves
Capricorn: Earth above earth: Mountains

Hmm, how could we use it?
So you're looking at Earth as every thing perceivable by the 5 senses. Okay I get that. But there is another way of looking at this and that is to attribute certain functions of the animal to certain elements. So for instance, breathing would be air, the heart and "energy" would be fire and water would be all the bodily fluids that are within the animal. This is admittedly not an "earthy" way to see things but alternative medicine makes use of this kind of thinking, and with tangible results.
Our planet is called earth but all the elements can still be found here. Fire, air and water (hell water makes up the majority of the Earth's surface). Again I see your thinking but I think there is more room for nuance and greater clarity.
Don't get carried away now. Earth is indeed very important and we do leave in a highly material plane but the other elements are by no means hindered or ineffective because of this. Take a look at this forum and see the various emotional issues that are brought up, which is quite real to the people who have them. Earth without the other elements is dead as Earth is the most inert and still.
I like it, though I'm not sure how the Virgo one works: is it supposed to reflect Virgo's discriminating nature?
I have deep respect for Capricorn individuals.
I am glad to hear of your deep respect for me, Apple.
