Some good points there, Sternn.
I think the idea of the once-called American Dream was about the opportunity to better yourself. People who are trying to do so, whether they are failing at it or not, have been taught to look down upon those who'd rather just enjoy life and "squeak by" rather than work themselves into an early grave.
My dad's a workaholic and I hear him complain about those "people who don't work and just live off everyone else," and I have to remind him that there are people out there who really need help. Of course, you only hear about the people abusing the system and not the people getting what they need.
