Some people tend to be libertarians or capitalists when they need to offer others help—”each for their own, I need capital, it’s your duty to help yourself.”
The same people, when they need help, tend to be communists/socialists – “I deserve to be helped!”.
There’s a funny saying in Romanian:
“Eu când zic că iau, iau! Dar când zic că dau, numa’ zic!”
“When I say I’ll take, I take! But when I say I’ll give, I’m just saying!”
