Should we not give to charity for fear of encouraging laziness?

where is the evidence that welfare leads to laziness?

To receive private charity is a priviledge, when it's fromn the state it's seen as a 'right'.

Which it is not, as any right that comes from the violation of anothers rights can never be considered a right itself. Right?

No, they keep busy smoking dope, playing video games and burglarizing the neighbourhood.

Do you believe that there is a surplus of jobs at the moment? and, do you believe that people who go to private schools should not have to pay for public schools?
