Yes, that's why we care for infants, orphans, injured, disabled and elderly people. We have a progressive tax system that favors low income people and even doesn't tax a subsistence minimum at all, we take care of poor people. Even disadvantaged people in far away countries.

Able bodied humans should be able to pull their own weight.

They don't deserve have John break his back growing wheat for them and have Bob come build them a house just because they feel like staying at home playing computer games (badly) all day. Because if they were good at it, they could earn a living with it.
