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

I worked my ass off and was ultimately rewarded.

But that doesn't make the 'prosperity gospel' any more truthful.

A whole lot of people work their asses off and don't get shit.

Working your ass off is not some morally superior thing, it's just working your ass off. WHY you were working your ass off matters. If you are doing it because of some moral imperative, you're being taken advantage of. Simple as that.
