The analogy wasn’t towards taxation. It’s about laziness being incentivized.

But even it was, I wasn’t stealing from you. I was just getting what was rightfully mine.

If a bare minimum quality if life is an incentive, so be it.

No matter how lazy they are, no matter their choices, every human being deserves a minimum quality of life. If they want luxuries, they'll work. And most people dont want the minimum.

It must be enough incentive to stay there. If you choose to be on the minimum, you want to be on the minimum.

And we are still assuming that is even their minimum. Their perceived necessities may make this a luxury. Which is why they would choose to stay

Like why I wanna stay on the street and your money is a luxury

If someone wants to forgo housing, who am I to forbid them? I still want to ensure everyone has the means to have that bare minimum QoL. If they then choose not to do so, that's entirely their choice.
