I don't think ENTITLED is the right word...I hate that word.
DESERVES - yes.
If a person works hard and earns his own money than he deserves to be able to purchase food and shelter with his earnings.

He's entitled to compensation commensurate with the market value of his services.
He also has the FREEDOM to better himself and make more money. Especially if he has avoided many of the pitfalls of modern society - dropping out, taking drugs, fathering children out of wedlock, etc.
If he can't make it in America, he won't be able to make it anywhere.

If that is what he chooses to spend his pay on.
Oh so you mean willing but not working? He better bust his hump to get a new source of income.

part of "pulling one's weight" is being able to put a roof over one's own head.

If he is 'pulling his own weight' then, by definition, he is earing enough to have those things. If he choses not to acquire them, though, that's his own business.

People are not "entitled" to anything except for death and taxes.

Worry about yourself and your family and your own backyard. Don't worry about "pulling your weight" in the USA. It's every man for himself and don't you forget it!
