    I’m always confused by the conservative christian political position until I remember that part in the bible where Jesus definitely said “Help your others… unless its socialism because thats bad.” /s

      Conservatives think that assistance to the less fortunate should come from charity instead of the government.

      Mainly because this gives them direct power over people: they can indoctrinate and control poor people when the threat is starvation and homelessness.
