My trusty* Geo** recently hit a milestone:

"Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too."

Not just one of many funny quotes from "Caddyshack" but a harsh reality.  There are plenty of low-paying back-breaking jobs that have to be done by someone.  These people don't make a great living and probably don't have employer-subsidized health insurance.  Republicans think that everyone should be able to make his own way in this world and pay for everything they need, but in some cases that just isn't possible.  Make that a lot of cases.

I read somewhere that Republicans want to run this country like a business, they're just annoyed that they can't simply fire poor people.
