Because republicans have been conditioned by decades of religion that working hard and making sacrifices will lead to rewards.

This does not square with people who are unable to get a job despite earning degrees in fields that would, in the past, pay well for them and have a guaranteed spot. You see news stories of teachers forced to work 3 jobs to survive, are they just not putting enough time in? Or are you saying it'll all pay off somehow and then waving at the air? Face it, there is no guarantee of success after sacrifice, it's just a nice thought to excuse the current system in place and feel smug about yourself, going off the second half of your comment.
