Neocons are cool with a welfare state. The Koch's believe just the opposite. They are pretty dyed-in-the-wool libertarians. They want to eliminate the welfare state.
Don't confuse monetary support with political belief. That's a big problem in our two-party system. There's tons of monetary support for things people don't believe in. Everyone is trying to pick the lesser of two evils.
