Because they're confusing economic freedom with economic security.
But once they'll get economic security, they'll probably still say it's not enough. After they blow their money on irresponsible things, they'll start the rehashed 'means of production' arguments people love to project onto.
They won't be happy either way. Mainly because I don't think they even have any idea on what methodology or practicality their outlook vaguely resembles. It's just textbook anti-capitalist rehashes, for the same of anti-capitalist rehashes.
It's this kind of thing that gives the left wing a bad name. But why advocators of socialism would willingly play right into conservative stereotypes, of people being work-shy, is something I'm having trouble understanding.
