35. why do you hate helping people?

Define helping.

There’s the old saying, “Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.”

Liberals want to give the man a fish. Every day. No questions asked. Forever. But, where do they get the fish to give the man? From the man that conservatives are teaching to fish.

Conservatives want to teach the man to fish. We also don’t want to oppress him with needless and overbearing regulations while he tries to fish. We don’t want to make it harder for him to get his fish. We also don’t want to take his fish to give to others who don’t want to earn their own fish; he should enjoy the fruits of his labor.

It’s a common theme among liberals to complain about conservatives “not helping” people, but it is a verifiable fact that conservatives do more to help people than liberals do.
