because "deserving money" to a reasonable person sounds like "deserving access to the goods and services that a pittance might afford"
but to them "deserving money" means "did they earn those luxuries with their own luck and effort like me, a person who works very hard and definitely has earned everything I have"
basically, a "blood sweat and tears" tax before you can have nice things like roofs and clothes and nourishment
thing is... life is hard for people who need dollars. Their judgement reflects a lack of understanding of what people who lack resources go through.
