Your viewpoint seems to be that everyone has an enforceable duty to give up resources, for the benefit of those who have no interest in living their lives in a way which minimizes burdens placed on others.

My viewpoint is that every person has a duty to not be a burden on others, to the extent of his or her ability (note: I say "ability" not "desire"), and where a person shows lack of desire to accomplish this duty (whether by refusing to work, or by spawning children who will likewise not have interest in working), then the rest of us have the right to impose sanctions which minimize the burden created by that person (rather than indulging that person in her irresponsibility).
