To illustrate, I was among a group of co-workers a few days ago, listening to them complain about taxes. I tend to be the lone conservative in the group - everyone else I know here speaks in favor of more government, more spending, more regulation, etc. It was difficult for me to keep my mouth shut when all I wanted to say was "why do you continually vote for leaders and programs that will cost more and then complain when the bill comes due?" Assuming that this isn't an isolated example, I'd say the problem lies with "we the people".
