SciFi boy you just don't get it.
The poor... having to work for everything they've got have more of an appreciation for hard work then those who have mostly had everything handed to them in the middle class.
Hence why the poor are more conservative when it comes to distribution of wealth even when it helps them personally.
Look at the US. The poorest states are the most conservative. The most liberal are the wealthy states.
The poor have more of an appreciation for getting up and doing things themselves. That's why they tend to be against socialism more and donate to charity more.
As it was said in the great depression... "I don't want a handout. I want to work."
His views are totally consistant. The only people who's views on these issues aren't consistant are those who claim the poor need more help yet aren't willing to give up their own comfort to help them... and instead wish to rely on others.
