Because you should only want to help people if you can get something out of it or if you plan on visiting them.
That’s exactly what Republicans believe. It’s always “what’s in it for me?”
It's less that it's something they believe and more that it's the only thing they can imagine. They literally can't picture doing something for someone else without gaining something themselves.
