It makes them feel important and like heros. They give little thought to how it affects the receiver overall. Typically they want you or whoever has more wealth than they do to give. They usually "don't have enough" to give much. "Rich people" are everyone who has more than they do. "Not enough to give much" could be over $100k per year income for some of them.

PS: They aren't liberals. They are progressives or socialists fraudulently using the label. See below for accurate definitions.

True liberalism advocates: individual freedom, weak government, and free markets. Conservatism advocates: moral responsibility, strong government, and protected markets. Progressives advocate: social concern, omniscient government, and controlled markets. Socialism advocates: social responsibility, omnipresent government, and collective markets.
