entitled to some level of state support
The Case Against a Universal Basic Income That Isn’t

Paid for by whom? Enforced by whom? You’ll see that quickly we arrive at the guns of the state, pointed in the faces of those who work, who contribute, who shoulder the tax burden — the tax livestock. Then we have the rest, who benefit from the largesse of the state, who essentially offload the costs of robbery to the state itself. Why not empower these people to steal directly from the productive classes, instead of using the state to whitewash their sins? Taxation is theft, and is inherently immoral.
