This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the American system, as it was designed, and the ill that plagues or society now.

Our system was setup for a limited government, the federal govt was given certain and defined tasks and roles. Anything else, was generally given as an authority to the states, and the people.

The federal govt wasnt supposed to be doing all these things for people/companies/groups our federal govt does now. The states, charities, religious institutions, clubs and individuals were supposed to do that.

The government has largely supplanted these civic organizations, to the point that most of these no longer exist or are extremely diminished in capacity and capability. Many, if not most Americans no longer believe their rights come from God, they believe they are granted rights from the government. Likewise, they generally don't look too solve their own problems, they look for a govt entity to solve it for them. Even within "conservative" spheres, they are fine taking whatever money they can from the govt and proclaiming independence from "something".

Governance and government was setup intentionally to be slow, to have gridlock, because the people of this country once believed that the individual, and individual rights trumped government rights. But with that comes civic engagement, your church takes care of the people in your town, moose, lions and golden circle clubs take care of the retired until the point where the elderly returned to their children to help with grandchildren, or be taken care of until they pass on. There are defined morality and social norms, and you didn't violate these.

None of that exists now, and people not only want to, but it's likely that they will have to(and will) get rid of many of the rights this great society was afforded, free speech, 2nd amendment, freedom of association and property rights etc, likely on favor of something like a China style democracy, we give you trinkets, you shut up, as that's generally where we are at already.
