Although some Republicans may think that way, I believe the vast majority don't. I think they believe that people make of themselves what they will, and people can overcome any odds if they work hard enough. They also believe in conserving what they have achieved.

I think what they may lack is in an understanding of the inequities of our society. While our inequities are less than almost all other countries, they do still exist. And although there are those who overcome these inequities to be highly successful, the fact is that most don't because of lack of opportunity, support, education, and luck.

And then there are Republicans who do understand this inequity, but believe it should be dealt with not by government, but by the private and religious sectors.

Just my opinion - I cannot see into the minds of anyone...
