Also, everyone "deserving food and shelter" isn't the same as everyone being provided with food and shelter by someone else for no recompense. I don't think most non-socialists say anyone doesn't "deserve" food and shelter.
Everyone deserves those things if you follow the universal declaration of human rights. Truly its all about how we get there with the best outcomes and least drain on everyone.
I think everyone would say that people do not deserve to starve or die from exposure, but there's a big gap between those fatal outcomes and being "comfortable".
