It's the idea that making someone else's life too easy is somehow immoral, especially if they obtain something valuable without the hard work.

People don’t usually see it as “making life easy is immoral” but as “making their life easier than mine is unfair”

You can always make their life easier by giving them YOUR money. Heck, you could even adopt them and house them in your own home. I would respect that. But I don't want one cent of my money to go to these kind of programs, and I think that my stand on this issue should be respected.

Do you want one cent of your money to go to farm subsidies, corporate welfare, or making defense contractors rich?

>I think that my stand on this issue should be respected.

But I don't think it's remotely worthy of respect. You want to live in a society like that, go somewhere with no public schools or roads or firefighters.
