That might be true, but he real thing we're discussing is a concept called entitlement.
Most people agree that the lowest orders needs are things you are entitled to by virtue of being human.
The disagreement comes into play when you start talking about the higher order needs.
In Europe the consensus is much more in favor of entitlement to mid and higher order needs.
In the USA the consensus is that these aren't needs, but wants. You must work to acquire those wants if you really want them.

Our species still has a long way to go.

For now, let's just give everyone the ability to earn an income by removing the road blocks and let them take charge of their own destiny.
