Even Denmark, which is popular for providing basic facilities for free, takes huge amounts of tax from its citizen.
And that only works as long as you have enough people being added to the job market that is willing to put up with it. If the parasites multiply, it can all fall apart. And it can get sooner than anticipated, that's why people should be looking into alternative ways of growing money. The goal is to not be reliant on the government
I mostly agree with your opinion
Especially, the part about responsible and productive members of society being punished fiscally in favor of the lazy and reckless ones. With that said, though, we must consider the problem from all sides and from all angles. The point of government supporting "the parasites" (as you put it) is in fact to keep them contained
I don't mean just their sheer numbers (this is a separate topic) but also the negative impact they could and would have on that society in more direct ways. I mean it may be cheaper to pay them off rather than cope later with the negative consequences they will otherwise produce (like crime, drugs, diseases, and so on)
