Justice Thomas also believes too many Americans expect too much from their government.

"The message today seems more like ask not what you can do for yourselves or your country, but what your country must do for you," says Thomas.

Unfortunately, however, the mood of the country mirrors that sentiment exactly, with certain notable exceptions. That didn't happen overnight.

A lot of manipulation, swindling, and outright lying has convinced a disturbingly large percentage of the population that the government is here to help.

And they believe that drivel.

This was a great comment on the article, from "Guest":
