Dave, I was expecting you to bring out the scriptures that do not condone laziness, that say if one does not want to work, let him not eat.
In ancient Israel, there was the provision of gleaning. People were commanded not to strip their fields when they harvested. The poor were to be allowed to glean the fields. They were provided for, but they had to do the work in order to receive the help. This is still followed as tradition in some countries in the Middle East.
No judgement, just remember that the system has set itself up to keep people dependent on it. The welfare system has become the ultimate enabler. Once people start getting the much needed help, it's just that much easier to learn how to take advantage of it. Then the dependents become used to it and begin to demand that they be taken care of, because the system "owes" it to them. Its a textbook co-dependent relationship.
