Our problem is that we have produced a society where the next generation inherits the reliance on social security and the government from their parents.

This is a dangerous, deadly cycle as it produces a society where more and more people are incapable of acting independent and looking out for themselves.

And what is our answer to this? Utopian phantasies like unconditional basic income for everyone, because why can't we all just sit at home and play video games instead of doing something productive for ourselves and our society?

I'm not against social security per se, but it should only be available to those who objectively can't survive without outside help.

We've perverted this into a system where healthy, capable people can choose to not work and this doesn't hurt just them but the whole of society including businesses because they have to pay for this.

For example in Austria where I am 75% of all taxes are paid by the top 10% of incomes (with a >50% income tax), yet the other 90% still complain that we at the top are all thieves and we should give them more free stuff.
