I for one would not be happy to live in a country where people have to live on the streets. 'Lazy Bum' is a pretty brutal indictment of a vast range of people, some of whom may have no other option, may not have the ability to read or the physical ability to pick grapes.
This stuff starts with education. You cannot expect to be a service economy if your K-12 education fails a decent percentage of society. Luckily the tools are becoming available to help, and we need students, teachers and schools to take advantage.
Please pay attention. According to Tsagadai's description, the people he supervised were capable of climbing onto roofs in order to avoid work and were capable of working when ordered to do so.
They merely preferred hiding in the bushes to doing actual work. This was the same situation Georgia had when they tried to get probationers to work the fields - they were capable of working, but unwilling.
This is the group of people to whom I applied the term "lazy bum".
Under my proposal, no one has to live on the streets. The only option which is eliminated is the "be lazy, force workers to pay for your leisure" option.
