Why does the Left always knee-jerk to have Government solve all ills?

From Instapundit, this was just too good to pass by.  Sometimes, brevity is the best and this does it well (emphasis mine):

ShotWhy Do Intellectuals Support Government Solutions?

— Julian Sanchez, Libertarianism.org, October 9th, 2012.

Chaser:

Leftists never take responsibility for their own lives. This is why they must constantly blame others for their problems, cry for resources and sympathy, and expect everyone else to respect them when they deserve none. It’s no surprise that many of these individuals tend to be in favor of nanny-governments. They have no accountability, because they’ve been coddled all their lives, and because they view themselves as victims who need to be compensated for, the leftists have the most deranged and shameless sense of entitlement. They seem to think that the world owes them everything, which is why they have such arrogant and hostile attitude towards everyone else. The whole concept of working to earn something for yourself is lost to them.
