To be treated fairly and equally, most everybody wants that. Nobody wants to get the shaft, and most people including conservatives don't want that either, for themselves and anyone else. The problem is that not everybody wants to earn fair and equitable treatment. Should a person who busts ass for 50-60 hours a week get the same fair and equitable treatment as the person who sluffs off and only works 36 hours and checks out? How about the person who could work but doesn't, do we treat him/her the same as the buttbuster?
That is the problem with the liberal mindset. They want equality in outcomes, with no thought to equality on input. Ain't gonna work, that's how you kill initiative and perserverence. Why work hard when I can get by on the gov'ts dole? Why work hard when the gov't will take most of my hard-earned money away from me?
