1) The right wing has been hammering government since Raygun said: "government is the problem, not the solution". Point: "we are the government in a democracy, so it is a stupid thing to say.

We are the problem? is how that translates in a social equation.

the United States is not a democracy. It is a Republic. We elect representatives. And when we elect representatives that burden our society with more government institutions (and thus more government employees), the government is most assuredly not us. It becomes (has become) a giant parasitic organism living off of our society. It is a serious problem and it continues to create more problems.

Liberals are increasing worldwide, just not in the US. Couple of reasons

Liberals are increasing worldwide because there is a subset of people who have the value system that says that it is ok to take someone elses earnings as long as it is voted on as a "democracy".
