I don't mind paying taxes for things I don't like and there isn't a particular sect of people that I dislike in particular. I don't mind that my tax money goes to people who don't work out of free will, because I know the majority of them are simply without opportunities - My country has 15% unemployment (and the statistics lie - It's probably around 20% because of registered unemployed people) and if I count people working on temporary (usually 1-3 years or less) low paid jobs only about 60% of the population (active population I mean) has a stable job. It's not an easy world out there.
I am part of one of those groups people target as being a lazy fuck and tell me I should die for them to not pay taxes, and apparently I'm a drain on the healthcare system despite the fact there are studies contradicting it
This is what happens in any aspect of society, sell enough people a utopia(an idea about politics, religion or business) and if you don't fit in you deserve to die. Basic human tribalism.
