It is a combination of how people look at employment, and how people look at government
Many(most) people have this entitlement mentality where by government, society, employers "owe them".
Employment is simply you selling your labor to the highest bidder. Company X needs Y labor done for them, you have the ability to perform that labor so you agree to a wage where by said labor gets done.
Nothing more. It is not a "family" you are not entitled to a job, or benefits of any type.
As for government, the only function government has is to prevent aggressive actions against me and my property and to provide a peaceful method of conflict resolution (aka courts)
It is not to inject itself in to the voluntary agreements of me and my employer, or anyone else.
The job of the government is to help us make our world a better place. If the job of government was just to resolve conflict, we'd have no roads, no bridges, no public education, we'd all be working 100 hour weeks for a pittance, and the world would be a really really awful place that none of us would like to live in. To think otherwise is just foolishness.
