As I said, I don't believe being able to work is an ethical prerequisite to survival. I don't believe being willing to work is an ethical prerequisite to survival.

Yes, I believe people should have food and water sufficient for survival regardless of their ability to work.

In the system, as proposed, it seems like some will choose to work and pay taxes in order that someone who is able but unwilling to work can have better housing and food than they do.

That doesn’t seem like it will have broadly popular support.

This is certainly possible because it already happens now with the current setup.
