Where do we draw the line between a person's duty to society and their inherent right to exist?

It's frustrating to see people who dont contribute anything to society while benefiting from public infrastructure and resources. But at the same time, we generally agree that human rights are inalienable and that every person has an inherent right to live. How do reconcile this paradox? Is human value tied to what we contribute, or do we have a right to exist purely by virtue of being human? Im curious to hear how people view this conflict.
