We can either expect the government to take care of us as it takes more from us or we could decide to take of each other better. Either we in our personal life take a greater responsibility for ourselves and those around us or they’ll be a demand for others to do it causing us lose more freedom and hard-earned monies along the way. Government should be there to fill in the cracks but not create new ones because we want more from the “Nanny State”. When we allow government to take up our responsibilities it is done in a less efficient and more costly way even with the best of intentions because of the bureaucracy needed to be created even to address the problem in the first place let alone run it to existance. It is up to us to decide what type of society we want not just from the words we use but the actions we take and if we take the right steps we’ll truly help those on the ground without moving us closer to it as well.
