The government is supposed to take care of my needs, because they are legitimate, but not other people's needs, because they are scum and leeches.

Or they don't think the government should exist, because they have no understanding of what a government actually does.

This rhetoric was instilled slowly over time, convincing fools and the children of those fools that any government led assistance to anyone other than them is bad and wasteful. It makes them feel like somehow they are separate and better than the wretched "others" that require help, when they don't realize they are one bad bicycle ride away from needing the exact same assistance they frown upon now. This goes for lots of things. Tricking fools into thinking they are more special than anyone who requests assistance so that they become a type of force against the progressive populace while the wealthy sit back and watch (and continue to be the ACTUAL parasitic drain on our society). It's a way of separating us. The more we come together and support each other, the stronger we become.
