You've got to be kidding, right? You've bought into the biggest stereotype around. Conservatives believe in self-reliance. That doesn't mean we're greedy, or have 'won life's lottery' or don't help others. The liberal method of handing somebody a government check every month isn't 'helping' anyone, it destroys dignity, ambition and self-worth and sentences a person (or generations of people) to a substandard life. Just take a look at what's happened in this country over the past 50 years of the liberal's "New Deal".
Liberals tend to view others as helpless - life's lotto simply didn't shine on them and there's nothing that can be done other than for "us" to babysit them. I'm not saying everyone is capable of starting a business or obtaining an engineering degree. Obviously, they aren't. But at the least, if the government's going to redistribute wealth, it should provide all able-bodied recipients with the dignity of some sort of government job so they earn their monthly check and have a chance of developing self-worth and an employable skill.
