I think the problem with so many people is that they play both sides of the fence...
when it benefits them they grovel before the state and ask the state to loot someone else so that they can "get" their "share" of the loot and booty...
when it benefits them they are complacent and/or approving and/or participatory with the bureaucrats and jackboots and mercenaries...
they loot for welfare, they loot for unemployment, they loot for disability, they loot for social security, etc....
then they wonder why they themselves are looted?
ugh...
