Right wing "solutions" to difficulties are always insincere, unreasonable nonsense like this.
Can't pay your bills? Eat less! Can't afford medical care? Shouldn't have been unhealthy! Gas prices killing you? Drive less! Depressed and burned out? Just be happy and work harder! You think billionaires are greedy? Well what charities are you giving to!? Tired of capitalist exploitation? Stop buying stuff and go live in the woods! You love immigrants? Well then let them all live in your home!
Victim blaming dressed up as rugged individualism. Meanwhile those actually responsible for the hardships get off scot-free.
