Why are some people against social programs that help the poor or needy?

For example social welfare programs there are people who need the money for example they are disabled such as having multiple sclerosis or something else. And affordable housing for the poor and homeless to give them a safe clean place to live. Some people become homeless through sheer unfortunate circumstances. So why cut social welfare programs for those in our society who need it most? And another thing what is so bad about universal healthcare coverage?

I am needy. 😢 will you help me
Republicans are exclusive. Why should I pay for them? If there are no Social Programs crime skyrockets.

I don't know anybody who is completely against such programs. But a lot of people, like me, are against the scale of them and the potential for abuse.

People should be responsible for themselves and do their best to earn their own way. The world does not owe you a living. You, me, and everybody else all need to be out there making ours.

And homelessness? Nobody loves you enough to take you in and let you sleep on their couch. How did that happen?

Mostly the answer is drug addiction and the solution to that is residential treatment facilities. Round them up and commit them to an institution and force them to sober up and learn how to look after themselves. Don't just give them unconditional handouts.

For some people it is not enough to be relatively wealthy and comfortably off. They need the poor and destitute to reassure them of their purpose in life.

@nudistsueaz I'm going to have to agree with you on this one. 😑
That's their politics, the Republicans and Democrats are not New Deal Dems.
