Speaking from a northern European perspective, there are a lot of systems in place that guarantee healthcare, housing and affordable or even free study opportunities. Those systems, funded by taxes, enjoy broad support, and to some extent set a (low) base level of equality and opportunity. Of course if the debate shifts into a narrative of being allowed to take from a "privileged party" – to empty their fridge sort of speak – you touch upon something visceral in people's self-preservation psyche and risk jeopardising that social net. Tolerance is generally low to provide more to those who are perceived to have failed to take advantage of those benefits and opportunities already bestowed upon them.
