Why do conservatives dislike programs that are meant to improve the conditions of people's lives? (See below)To right-wing thinkers, the methods...

If you understand what "right-wing" means, you should be
able to get this question.  In the context of economics, right-wingers believe that
government should not interfere and that individual workers and individual employers
should make whatever deals they want with one another.  They believe that this will
allow the people who have the most talent and the most drive to get ahead.  These people
will help improve the country's economy.


Once you
understand this, you will see that A is the right answer.  Conservatives believe that
government efforts to help the poor penalize those who work hard by taking their money
away via taxation.  They believe that these programs then reward people who do not have
as much talent or drive.  For this reason, they think that those sorts of programs are
bad for the society and the economy.


For this reason, A is
the right answer.
