How does it feel to have you false narrative exposed in front of the world?The federal government is restricted to 18 enumerated powers and "helping those in need" is not one of them. Of course - never having actually read the U.S. Constitution - one wouldn't expect you to be aware of that reality. But here is the ultimate constitutional conservative obliterating your false narrative...Liberals want a government that helps those that need help.
Boom! Game Over right there. A governmet that "helps those in need" is not constitutional government. Also - proof that you've never read the U.S. Constitution.

Of course it is......We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
“Congress had not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but were restrained to those specifically enumerated; and that, as it was never meant they should provide for that welfare but by the exercise of the enumerated powers, so it could not have been meant they should raise money for purposes which the enumeration did not place under their action” - Thomas Jefferson (June 6, 1817)
“[We] disavow, and declare to be most false and unfounded, the doctrine that the [Constitution], in authorizing its federal branch to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States, has given them thereby a power to do whatever they may think, or pretend, would promote the general welfare–which construction would make that of itself a complete government, without limitation of powers.… The plain sense and obvious meaning were that they might levy the taxes necessary to provide for the general welfare by the various acts of power therein specified and delegated to them, and by no others. – Thomas Jefferson (December 24, 1825)
Game over.
