Answer: they cost the government too much money
Explanation: The Republican Party holds the belief that all things in life are earned and not owned. Nobody is entitled to anything and people should be rewarded for their hard work and effort, and not for their disadvantages in life.
A Republican thinks that the government spends too much money on entitlements programs for the so called less favored groups in society. This is, in his opinion, not necessary as it encourages privilege thinking and stops people from taking decisions for themselves. Every individual is equal and it is up to them to shape their life and their future; depending on any governmental aid is of no use for anybody, it makes the country's budget poorer and the 'entitled' people lazy and not willing to work as others do.
