"Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."
- Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926), five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President
What is worse, paying for laborers that are productive, or paying a 'social safety net' payment to those who think that working is beneath them?
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." - Patrick Henry

Then you go into business yourself. There is plenty enough financial aid for small business start ups.
The down side is that it requires effort and work. If you aren't going to work for it, you shouldn't get a hand up.
I started out working for the other guy. I didn't like the pay and the hours were ruthless. (construction) So I started up my own business. I wasn't ruthless and often times went without a check to make sure my crews got paid, during the initial start up.
Eventually, I owned two houses outright, and had a thriving business that I sold when I retired.
It is important to point out that I did not come from money. I only hand a few hundred in the bank and never got a loan.
