Charlie Daniels: Young People Have Fallen for Utopian Lie That Government Is Answer to Every Problem
 

When the progeny of a free nation, a prosperous thriving nation that sits at the very pinnacle of the international pyramid of privilege, security and opportunity, become convinced that the nation that gives them this place of prominence, simply by virtue of being born there, is corrupt and has gained its high standing by using deprivation and repression to hold down the unfavored classes and has used its military might unfairly, to nation-build and occupy, there is danger in the wind, and the future of that nation is in dire jeopardy in the coming years.

There is also a reason for the attitudes of the young people, who have, much as the deceived citizens of the world before them, fallen for the utopian lie that “Mother Government” is the answer to every problem, large and small.

They’ve fallen for it until they start earning a check and find out that it’s they who have to pay for it all
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Government has grown to be so big that I would suspect a lot of people now think that it's the only entity that can solve the problems it created in the first place.

Young people are always suckers for the myth of the perfect world and perfect people through an "enlightened" government.
Until they get older and reality smacks them in the face. Most youth grow out of it.
Well, there are people like Bernie Sanders.

Depends on where you live I'd say.
