This is because you have culture which encourages performance. Once you enable parasitism other cultures also arise, which discourage performance, and the people of those cultures just don't have that notion. They may even look attractive. Think hippies. They surely look better and have greater outlook than wage slaves, housewives or salesmen. And that trend is notoriously hard to reverse. Even in EU they have massive problems with even getting some minorities to attend school.

>Even in EU they have massive problems with even getting some minorities to attend school. I think you're reaching a conclusion that the evidence doesn't completely support here. I live in the EU and I was one of the people who didn't want to attend school, because school is glorified daycare and in impoverished areas it quite literally feels like prison. I don't really know if you're right, my mum and I grew up living on income support and while it was awful I do cherish the fact that I got to spend time with her. She now works for the government, I work in tech, we've both "done more" but the money she earns now isn't the reason for that, it's because: 1) It's BORING to sit on your arse and do nothing 2) People identify with their purpose (hippies identified with anti-war, and even hippies have had productive impacts on society with social movements, music and art) 3) When free to do anything: you do the thing you love This last point means you can't keep treating service workers like shit, which is why it's unpopular.

    Clean your own house and wash your own toilet. You, not me, are the one who has to live there, anyway.
