“We have abandoned many personal freedoms. The primary justification for the attack on private property and economic freedom and privacy, I might add, can be found in peoples desire for Government to do good.”
IMHO, people now have, in many instances, failed to realize that it is up to THEM to do good – and not Government (“Somebody’s got to do something about it!”). People have become lazy, self-absorbed, and unwilling to take on the initiatives to do good themselves and simply have outsourced this responsibility to “faceless others” in which it is not goodness but just yet another job.
