"The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country"

About this Quote

This quote by Lyn Nofziger suggests that the reason the United States is drifting towards socialism and big federal government is due to the fact that people are voting with the expectation of receiving free ride. He implies that people are not voting with the very best interests of the country in mind, but rather with their own individual gain in mind. This is causing a shift in the nation's political landscape, as more individuals are electing policies that will benefit them straight, instead of policies that will benefit the nation as a whole. This shift towards socialism and big government is an outcome of individuals's selfishness and absence of issue for the nation's well-being.
