Yeah, I get what you mean. If in the US, we had all grown up with a libertarian government and politics, where citizens fend for themselves in their economic decision making, very likely people would have no problem with the concept of government not holding their hand. It used to work like this in the US. The term "snake oil salesman" exists for a reason. They weren't thrown into jail back then because there was no FDA, and so society created a term for people who come around trying to sell a scam product with huge promises that can't deliver.

It gets taught through the generations, though, and the generations we have today have largely had the government holding their hand with everything their entire life. While people could learn, I expect this trend to continue instead.
