We, collectively, do take care of eachother.

If we did not, we would not exist.

There is a optimal balance to be struck between self-responsibility and social support.

I say that during the last few decades, and particulary with this administration, the scale has seriously shifted towards the side of 'everyone for themselves.'

We construct government to serve our own interests.

A government, for, by, and of the people, remember?

So, yes, it IS the government's job to take care of us.
