They refuse to work hard if at all. They choose to live an unhealthy lifestyle. They choose to break the law. They choose to have tons of debt
That is exaclty the same argument slave-owners used about their slaves, imperialists about their colonized peoples, Afrikaaners about Black Africans, Jews about Arabs, etc. etc. etc. Its called "blaming the victim" to absolve oneself from any problems with one's conscience.
By de-humazing "them" you essentially turn your own amorality into a consquence of some obscurely defined inevitability.
The tuly sad thing is that you probably fancy yourself as a "patriot" while all the while despising those whose misery assures your own wealth.
