The conservative would not take $9. They would earn it. So the rest of what you said doesn't even make sense.
Conservatives, by definition, believe in value of work. It's based on the protestant work ethic.

A conservative that believes in taking what others earned.... just simply isn't a conservative.
That would be like saying "A Vegan and a Cattle rancher walk into the room. The cattle rancher puts down a hamburger and the vegan eats it and says...." If the Vegan eats the hamburger, they are not a vegan.
Similarly, if the conservative takes someone else's money... they are not conservatives. If they earn the money, or if they sell you something for the money, then you might have a point. But conservatives don't take your money. Left-wingers do. Socialists do. Government does. But not conservatives. Doesn't happen.
Did the farmers give back their billions in subsidies and bailout monies? Or is Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska full of flaming liberals?
No, of course not. If you are stupid enough to give me your money, I'll take every dollar you are dumb enough to give me. Absolutely.
However from policy perspective, conservatives are against government subsidies of any kind.
But if your side wins the day, and offers for example, universal income benefits.... yeah I'll take your tax money. I'll vote against the policy until the day I die... but if you pass that socialist policy, I will quit my job, and soak you for every dollar I can get. You give me your cash, that's on you, not me.
But to the point, I've said this for years, that we should have no farm subsidies at all. That's one of the reasons conservatives opposed the Farm bill under Bush. And we opposed it under Trump.
Republicans Fume at Trump's $12 Billion Plan to Aid Farmers
"They want trade, not aid. It’s really just that simple"time.com
“My thoughts are the thoughts of farmers. They want trade, not aid. It’s really just that simple,” said Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin.
That right there.... Ron Johnson's position, is the conservative position.
Go back to 2008.
Conservative Republicans offer bailout alternative

A group of conservative Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives offered a mortgage insurance plan on Thursday as an alternative to the Bush administration’s $700-billion Wall Street bailout.
That right there, the private insurance model, as opposed to the tax payer funded bailout.... that is the conservative position.
We've been very consistent on this.
Yeah...your lie about conservatives wanting to "earn" money is crap...just like everything else you post.
You have the right to be wrong. Please continue.
You claimed they want to "earn" money one moment....then say they will happily keep the free socialist money from the government. You're contradicting yourself.
Yeah, the conservative positions from governmental level is, we do not believe in confiscating money from the public, and giving it out to other.
If you ask me, if I support for example, the Universal Basic Income, the answer is no.
But... if you pass that law.... if you make that the law of the land, against my position... I'll take your money.
I didn't vote for people to come confiscate your check and give it to me. You did. Not me.
I'm just taking advantage of your stupidity. You demanding the government take what you earned, and give it to people who don't work. I'll gladly take you up on that.
But even after taking your money, the next election I'll vote against UBI, because I don't believe in using government to steal other people's wealth, and giving it to people who having not earned it. But, if you win again, and keep paying higher taxes, to give me a basic income without working... I'll keep taking your money.
To me that is entirely ideologically consistent. If you want to pay higher taxes, so I can sit at home on your dime... I didn't do that. I didn't vote for that, nor did I support it, but since you put that in place, I'll soak you for every dollar you are dumb enough to give me.
