If you aren't a conservative you must be a socialist.{ smh} This reality isn't an easy one to figure out certainly. What I do know is that many have always been pre-occupied with worrying about others getting things they don't feel they deserve to.
People getting over.Porr people may be getting a
littel too much assistance . Minimum wage should be
kep as low as possible because we can't have anyone getting a bit more than we feel they 'Deserve" ? This article isn't about people NOT WORKING but the principle of why it upsets certain people much more is interesting .
Their Ethical Code Says It’s Morally Wrong To Pay People More Than They Think Their Low-Level Abilities Entitle Them To Earn

It's as if their ethical code thinks it morally wrong to pay people more than they think their lower level ability entitles them to earn. Does someone getting more than you think they deserve affect your life in any meaninguful way/ Or does it just make you angry? Why ? Why do people care what's in other people's wallets?
Unworthy people getting things they don't deserve . I think the term I've seen is 'other wallet worriers " .
They see people getting things they don't feel they deserve as a perversion of the 'natural order of things.
It's an attack on how these people feel the world 'should" work.
Conservatives will give you all kinds of reasons for hating the idea of the minimum wage being set at a living wage, but underneath all of them is their emotional, moral conviction that poor people just don’t deserve to be paid that much money, that they don’t deserve to earn a living wage, and, if they say what they’re really thinking, the conservative will tell you that it’s unfair/wrong for them to be paid more than their crappy labor is really worth.
The conservatives’ unhappiness is primarily based on their moral notion that these are loser people who don’t deserve to be paid that much money.
