It has been said in nearly every way possible that today people are too dependent on the government to fulfill their needs. But today it is no longer a left wing or liberal behavior. Today's conservatives have become very contented with government aid being given to people. A person's political stripe doesn't have as much to do with their behavior as their basic beliefs about life do. That's why conservatives and liberals today aren't willing to eliminate government welfare programs; they both want voters to see them as "compassionate". They believe that life itself is about helping one another unselfishly so that we can have a perfect world. What today's people need to learn is that we will never have a perfect world, but we can have a great one if we trust nature over the ideas of intellectuals.
