The Republicans really believe that most people have to be forced to work. I think in their minds too much government assistance would be a doomsday scenario because then nobody would do the lowest paying jobs.

What really gets me is how the business egg (Kudlow) just assumes that everyone "on both sides of the aisle" would agree with him about the government payment being a disincentive to work. Like it's so obvious he doesn't have to justify it. It shows how deeply ingrained the idea is in Republican ideology that you have to force people to work. They think that raising the minimum wage or increasing benefits would somehow encourage workers to be lazy and thus be a drag on the economy.
