If you can't maintain a car, can't mow grass and fix a mower problem, repair basic faults in the home, then you are a ward of the state because you have no alternative but depending on government.

That's nonsense. I don't maintain my car. I pay other people to do that for me. Of course I could mow my own grass, but I have a teenager to do that for me. When he tells me that the mower doesn't work, I put in the back of the aforementioned SUV and take it to get it repaired. Ditto for the home. When something needs fixing, there are people far more qualified than myself ready for hire. I'm in no way a ward of the state. If anything, I'm an economic engine.

Can't in the case I applied it meant "doesn't know how", not knows-how and chooses not to. If you don't know 'how' then you missed a few things in life.
