Conservatives have more self-control

That's the barest minimum. The fact is when people give out of charity, it's not enough to make a dent.

Are you saying there shouldn't be any antipoverty
programs, no matter how needy someone is and how little they are at fault for their situation?

Nope. But I do question the long-term efficacy of such programs. Have cities with long-term democratic governments accomplished much? Give a fish/teach to fish, etc.
