The way these people talk about giving benefits to supposedly undeserving recipients makes it sound like they alone are shouldering the burden of paying for all of it.
That's because they have been led to believe that the outgroups are responsible for all their hardships. Even if just 6 cents of their monthly pay goes to food stamps, it's gross to them to be paying for others they don't like to eat. They would never notice it being taken out if not told about it. They will then in the same breathe validate their own use of social safety systems.
