I think a lot of it stems out of a sort of resentment that they had to work for their money while others are living off of the fruits of their labors. Also, a lot of the problem is that in many cases, welfare (which is what I assume your post is getting at) has been abused. It was meant to help people get back on their feet, and some people used it as their sole source of income, instead of using as it was intended. This gave it a bad name, and people became disillusioned with giving others money to live off of for an extended period of time.
