Compassion
I like these quotes from Thomas Sowell
No matter how much people on the left talk about compassion, they have no compassion for the taxpayers.
To liberals, "compassion" means giving less productive people the fruits of the efforts of more productive people. But real compassion means enabling less productive people to become more productive themselves. That way, the poor have not only more material things but also more self-respect, as well as more respect from others, and the society as a whole has a higher standard of living and less internal strife.
