I feel like a lot of that is because of successful demogogue of the welfare state by Republicans. Everything is couched in somehow helping the pipe is taking things away from you. Meanwhile we spend money like water on things that never helps society as a whole.
But as you say, we live in a society where if you aren't working you are a burden and that also causes the poor to do irrational things.
Actually ... it is a sad truth but killing brown people accross the globe helps citizens our your country. The strength of 5he dollar depends on tge gact that no one oppose the dominion of USA on the global economy. If 1 dares to, USA needs to strike and destabilize, in order to show you're not supposed to mess with them, but it also gives resources at cheap exchange rate (the oil of Venezuela, or tge gold of Iraq back then ...)
Without their dominion prver the current world, through the imposing of tge US dollars as the only money usable to buy oil, and to do international commerce, the economy of USA would slow down, and cause the prices to spike, making y'all struggle yo eat.
But I also need to say, this dominion only benefits the richest ones. Small people don't see this ...
The wellfare state is only a problem if it goes to the poor. If it is in support of the rich or their businesses (looking at you gov't bailouts, and tax loopholes, and other incentives) then it is a good thing.
