Unless you’re rich, you’re not allowed to not work in America either. Go ahead and try, you won’t last long. Even social support programs come with work requirements in some places [1].
Let’s not pretend America doesn’t currently imprison over two million people [2]. That’s where you end up if you’re poor and unlucky enough in America (being homeless is also criminalized in many places [3]).
