The problem with both is that they coddle men with more resources than they possibly can spend and have no history of investing it significantly.
Tiberius et al might claim it is their right to keep their gains, but I've been of the firm opinion that your rights end when you stand by and don't even support those less fortunate than you, with respect to basic human rights like basic housing, food and health care.
If someone is starving not out of their own volition in your country and you have the riches and resources to stop it, you have a moral obligation.
And when enough people forget that moral obligation, then it falls to the government to enforce that until people voluntarily pick up the slack.
Every rich man collected money from his community.
Old-style conservatives and old-style liberals both knew and embraced that. They also talked big about contributing back to their country.
The new ones simply care only about their own riches and fuck everyone who has less than them.
