If someone inherited wealth, then spends their life as they wish, living off inheritance, do they contribute to the common good more than a drunk living under a bridge? I don't have much respect for either of those lifestyles, but is one better than the other?

I'd say they contribute somewhat thru usage taxes. However if they don't have any "earned" income the heir will not pay for medicare.
The hobo is just a consumer of resources and doesn't have anything to contribute to your neighbors health care. The heirs do.
