Most of the right in the US prescribe a less powerful government and more choice for individuals. Social conservatives want to force their morals on everyone, but with less government, wanted by fiscal conservatives who and make up the majority of the Tea Party and "the right", that's not possible.
Class warriors believe in zero-sum games. Wealth inequality to them means that if the rich are getting richer, then everyone else must be getting poorer; never mind that living standards have been improving for virtually everyone over the last 50 years (stagnant in closed societies, but those are far and few).
Also, please don't use terms like "far right". It could mean Ayn Rand or Hitler, and they don't have a thing in common.
