My liberal friend is found of saying in defense of the welfare and public state (regulations etc.), "I don't trust people to make the right decision."
In other words, politicians and bureaucrats (and all the potential pitfalls that comes with it) doing that on our behalf is okay.
When I brought that point up he answered, "the abuse is less in government than it would in the private sphere." Lesser of two evils if you will.
In other, other words, public servants can do the right thing most of the time in the interest of the public good.
Not my belief but it's a prevailing one among many people.
