Anyways, do we want as a society do the maths if someone has the right to "profit" from our infrastructure? Isn't the main goal of a society to support a wide range of lifestyles?

Thats not a rhetorical question, i mean it. There is balance to be struck between enabling everyone to live their life like they want to and having a standardized flow of goods and services that makes a "good life" possible for everyone.

In this case, i would say it is a thing that modern society should be able to handle and we shouldn't look after every penny. Those people are in the very minority and if they need help we should be able to provide them with the necessary things. But that is only an opinion of mine and there is a discussion to be had regarding the handling of those cases.
