People who don't trust the government should be most willing to pitch in for the common good because if they're being principled they must recognize that it falls on private institutions including churches fill in the gap if the welfare state is reduced. One reason I disagree with you is that people who favor pervasive government intervention are often themselves lacking material means, which may explain the attraction to them of equalizing distribution of wealth, and so they have less personally to offer the common good.
