In the US, 85+% of the explanation for that is racism. Anything that helps the lower class could help a black person, so the "working class conservative" wants it eliminated, as it could upset the racial caste system that keeps them, in their minds, above black people.
If you need evidence, just look to the history of US domestic policy the last ~80 years. (E.g. what happened with Johnson's Great Society, https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/26595572-american-maelstrom)
