If that were so, you'd expect countries with more entitlement programs to be less economically prosperous, no? I haven't seen a shred of evidence that this is the case--and indeed, indications are that there is no such relationship. If unemployment is an indicator, as you implied, then the evidence for that claim is pretty weak.
