Charity food and health care is generally accepted as a good thing. By contrast, the idea of some kind of UBI (universal basic income) as a floor - where a person could have food and housing while pursuing a dream like creating art - is widely opposed (“paid work gives dignity!”).
Disbelief that our distant ancestors paid labor “taxes” to support artists in their community (which they definitely did) might be some psychological projection.
