If you rely on someone for support then you are giving them the power to make that support conditional on you doing what they want you to do. This is no different if the supporter is an individual or the government. But only the government can use a gun to force you.

This isn't government trying to "nudge" people in any kind of social direction. They're saying if you're young and able bodied get a job, like everyone else has to. They aren't applying some weird condition to anything; public housing isn't meant to be a permanent free home for people who don't want to work. I'm kind of amazed this wasn't a requirement before, though not knowing their laws on such things I don't know exactly how dramatically this varies from what was in place. Perform a function in society, stay with society. Refuse? Good luck with the wolves, friend.

I read it as:
"If they're taking taxpayer money then they should have to contribute or train to contribute as a participating member of society."

When people mooch off taxpayers because they don't want to work to support themselves and the government is the bad guy for telling them to get jobs.
