>> Unlike libertarians, Conservatives believe that those who were the recipients of good fortunate have a moral obligations towards the rest of society, in particular the people who do their best but just have less marketable skills.

>(In the United States) I have never heard this as a conservative viewpoint.

Most of the conservatives I know fall into two groups - social conservatives and fiscal conservatives. The social conservatives - some Jewish but mostly Christian - are very charitable because it's part of their faith. The fiscal conservatives I know are cheap bastards (like me).
