This is the divide between conservatives (my side) and liberals, completely objectively: We agree there are problems, but we disagree about the causes and the solutions. This one concept covers all the issues, as far as I can tell.
Mostly, conservatives seem to see the decline of personal responsibility as one of the major causes of a great many problems, and we see minimizing the "nanny state" as a way to force the return of that value and behavior. It appears to us that liberals want to grow the "nanny state" as a way of further caring for those who will not care for themselves, and thereby creating more of that sort.
Liberals claim that conservatives are selfish, but we see that as ridiculous, because it is more selfish to want hard workers to work to support the do-nothings.
