    In the case of someone who can’t work for one reason or another there’s obviously an exception because that’s not something they can help

    Children do contribute to society by getting an education and having a childhood to develop into well adjusted adults who contribute later on,

    Unemployment benefits presumably are for people actively searching for a job

    The elderly have already contributed more than their fair share raising their children

    Using the phrasing people who don’t work implies including people who are able but just don’t want to

      There’s nobody like that. You’re talking about imaginary people. All human beings have a natural drive to do useful work.
