The bible teaches many things, among them, "If a man won't work, he shouldn't eat."
I looked that up. It seems that is an instruction from Paul that applied only to the members of the Christian community. And Paul didn't even imply that it was given to him by any divine means.
At least to me, it did not have any application beyond the Christian community. I'm good with that if you want to starve other Christians into working. But in the greater world I don't see anywhere when Jesus was doling out food that He checked to see if the people receiving it were 'working' or not.
