Many people look capable of work, if you don't know them, but you will often find that their inability to work has nothing to do with their physical abilities but often psychological problems or even criminal records that make them unemployable, particularly today when there are far more applicants for jobs than jobs.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

Those Nordic societies are not nearly as ethnically homogeneous as you think they are. They have also been the recipients of immigration over the decades.
For instance Norway:
In the last decades, Norway has become home to increasing numbers of immigrants, foreign workers, and asylum-seekers from various parts of the world. Norway had a steady influx of immigrants from South Asia (mostly Pakistanis and Sri Lankans), East Asia (mainly the Chinese), and Southeast Asia (e.g. Filipinos), Eastern Europe (e.g. Russians and Poles), Southern Europe (Greeks, Albanians and people from former Yugoslavia etc.), and Middle East countries (especially Iraqis and Palestinians), as well as Somalis, Turks, Moroccans, and some Latin Americans. After ten Eastern European and Baltic countries joined the EU in 2004, there has also been a substantial influx of people from Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Immigrants constituted 13% of the population at the start of 2015, and an additional 2,6% were born in Norway by immigrant parents[6] (up from 8,3% and 1,5% in 2006[7]). The same year, 19% of births in Norway were to immigrant parents.[6] In 2006, non-Western immigrants constituted 75% of the total number of immigrants. They contribute much of the population growth. Among people of African descent in Oslo, almost 60% are younger than 30, compared to 20% of those of North American background.[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Norway

Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
So you deny healthcare to those you deem unwilling to work?
The UK went down that road with health assessments on the registered disabled, which criteria were toughened up to find them fit for work. Their benefits are immediately stopped. We've lost count of the number of people who died within weeks of being found fit to work.

News: Rich people paying rich people to tell middle class people to blame poor people.
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

The Constitution grants the Federal government limited powers. Read Article 1 section 8 for the list. The powers are divided into defense and general welfare. The general welfare phrase covers the non defense enumerated powers in article 1 section 8. The federal government has no authority to take wealth from one person to give to another.
You are in error.
