We already do with different social welfare programs.
If you're on welfare and you refuse to honestly even look for work when you're healthy and capable of it you don't deserve society's financial support. Welfare is a social safety net program for people who don't have a job, can't find work but aren't eligible for EI etc.
I know someone who is a lazy alcoholic a-hole who has spent most of their working life unemployed on welfare and spends their days drinking and doing zero housework. The best thing that ever happened to them was the government started making it mandatory to look for work unless they were disabled or something, so they finally had to go to work and actually contribute to society and get out of the funk they were in. If you support enabling people like this you're doing them harm as an enabler rather than being compassionate in any way whatsoever. It's actually cruel and should be labeled as a less severe form of abuse.
