People, if given the appropriate choice, will never (well, hardly ever) choose to be a slacker, live off of others, and take things that don't belong to them.

You are missing my point. By framing our largesse as entitlements we are, in effect, telling people that these things do, indeed, belong to them, please help yourself, that's what they're there for. This approach is insidious, corrupting, not self-sustaining.
