But that doesn't achieve what you're trying to achieve. Example:
Person A: single mother of 3 kids, works 70 hours a week to support her family.
Person B: lazy houswife with rich husband, kids are grown up. Can work, but can't be bothered. Would rather be a burden on society. Decadent lifestyle.
Clearly, person A is contributing more to society than person B, even if the same legal framework applies to both.

Are you suggesting bums living on the street aren't a burden on society because they can make a living begging?

playing field in the end will be fair. I don't see your example as
proving your point at all, both are part of society, both are adding
to it. Not sure who you are to tell anyone their lifestyles are
decadent or not, you want to go down that road? You want some to
make value judgments on your life to see if what you do with your
time is worthy or not? Why not just treat all of the people in your
example the same way, no matter what?

Fact: Person B spends every waking minute at the mall spending her husband's millions stimulating the economy, returns home at night to crash on a bowel of doobie.

It means that people all should have the same rules equally applied
to each person, one should not be put upon for another, each person
should be made to contribute as they can the same way so that
everyone has a stake in the future of their country.

The part where you suggest being a leech is good for the economy.
