Capitalism requires a pool of under or un-utilised labour. This has been known for a long time...
When the pool becomes too large, revolutionary air. When the pool becomes too small, wages rise, profits decrease and companies go bust.
Those 'lazy' people are a functioning, necessary part of the capitalist system.
Social security and healthcare systems exist to pacify a large portion of that un/under-utlized labour force in a country.
KTHXBYE

I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." - Winston Churchill, 1937 --{ORLY?}--
