When my parents ask us to do chores or anything for that matter i get right to them, get them done and am on the next chore. Well my brother says "ok ill do them" and well he doesnt. And because of this my parents come to me most and ask me to do the things that then need, because they know that i will do it. And i am just getting burnt out. And i tell my mother and she tells me well you try to control him. And i get so mad because thats not my responsability. SHES HIS MOTHER.!!!!!! and i just need some advice on what i can say and/or do. Please any advice would be great. Thanks

How old are you guys. ask your mom to take away something that he values untill he does them.

My brother does the same thing, but it's gotten so bad here that my parents have actually stopped asking him to do things, they just let him do whatever the hell he wants. My brother is a lunatic who never stops drawing and talking to plastic pokeon action figures. Just be happy you don't have him as a brother cuz his favorite pasttime is hurting me even though he's a year and a half younger than me!
As to your problem, I'd just tell your mom to let him get off so easily because he's going to get to a point where he's just going to stop doing things and rely on people around him and he'll go nowhere in the world. And you should just suck it up and do his chores cuz obviously no one else is going to do them. If he isn't then just do it yourself, you'll get it done and then feel good about yourself having done something nice for your parents without whining and complaining about it.

Suggest to your mother that if he is not going to do the chores, he should at least pay rent. Tell her that it is not fair of her to treat you differently, and expect more of you. Tell your brother that you are angry with him too. that is about all you can do besides move out.
