The key to understanding a liberal is to realize you are dealing with someone who reasons with the capacity of an 8-9 year old. If someone has something they don't, petty jealousy kicks in, and they think they ought to have it, too. Nothing is ever completely "fair", hence the constant running to mommy (government) to complain/do something about it.

The worst part is, if you had a group of 10 people, and 9 were perfectly happy playing with 9 toys, a liberal (child), rather than wait their turn, would rather complain/blow up system, have mommy take the toys away for not "sharing", and have all 10 equally miserable, than see 9 of the 10 happy.
