No I do not think so. Sometimes people realize that from the time they were young, the system was stacked against them because of a combination of factors including race, gender, family social class and education, geographic location, disability and in born intelligence and abilities or lack thereof. At some point after many attempts and failures, they gave up trying.
People who talk in terms of dead beats and slackers choose to ignore the natural advantages that most of them had and tell each other it is because of how hard they worked. Bull!
They may have worked hard but so does a single parent who is up at five to take a child on the bus to day care and then one or more buses back to a job for eight o'clock. And the reverse at night. And all the next days. Just one example of real hard work.
America more and more is becoming a country in which there is very limited movement between social classes, parent to child. Most old stodgy, class ridden European counties have more social mobility than current day America. It is a shame and it is holding America back.
Calling people slackers and deadbeats is just blaming the victim.
