Democrats tend to view the poor/needy as people who were unlucky. Redistribution is justified as evening out the results of chance.
Republicans (excluding the 'lefty christian' ones such as Bush [1]) tend to view the poor/needy as financially/etc irresponsible people. Redistribution is not justified, being mainly just a tax on responsibility.
The example given in this article supports the Republican view more than the Democratic view.
