Pull your weight.

He who doesn't work doesn't eat.

There's just not a whole lot of sympathy for someone who can provide for themselves, but wants someone else to just take care of them. If all of society had that attitude, then no one would eat. When you subsidize bad behavior you get more bad behavior.

Funny enough that doesn't seem to apply those born into extreme wealth.

Yes, it does. Under 18 the parent is obligated to take care of the child. Beyond that it's the parents choice and discretion to continue taking care of their child.

If you want to give to charity, that's your prerogative. It's not society's obligation to do it, however.

It's easy to pretend to be high and mighty on a moral pedestal when you're redistributing other people's money.

If you want to give to the less fortunate out of your own funds that you earned, more power to you. And I commend you for your generosity. However, I seriously doubt you're willing to be so giving and charitable when the money being divided out is yours.
