My gut reactions are (1, lazy guy who wants free money) (2, honorable working class salt-of-the-earth) (3, compassionate guy with good intentions) (4, insensitive guy who doesn't realize his privilege).

My Average Person Simulatorâ„¢ more-or-less agrees with that, but my own gut reactions for 1 and 3 are somewhere between that and (1, unlucky guy who deserves my sympathy) (3, hypocrite who spent several tens of centideadchildren on clothes but still has the nerve to blabber about the poor).

(I don't endorse my gut reaction about 3.)
