I mean this is basically the fundamental difference between the left and right. The right is generally more self concerned and the left is generally more willing to give for the greater good of everyone else.

As a libertarian, I don't consider myself either left or right, but I can tell you the issue some people have with the "giving for the greater good" argument:
I have no problem with people who are willing to give their own money to people genuinely in need. But there is a problem when those on the left use the police powers of government to
force others to pay for things like health care in exchange for keeping the people who make those promises in political power.
It's easy to be compassionate when you're using other people's money.
