he was on welfare and receiving food stamps [...] and constantly upset at “all those moochers” on welfare.

I... I can't imagine living with this level of dissonance in my own head. I take it his perspective is: "my situation is temporary, theirs is a choice?"

Pretty much. He deserved the assistance because he was a hard working, red blooded American, with a plan. All those other people on welfare were lazy moochers. I tried to explain to him that most people on welfare are the same as him. People with jobs, who work hard, and are trying to get ahead in life, but he was certain that wasn't the case.
