Summary

This quote highlights the contradictory perspective of individuals regarding the actions of government. It suggests that people often view the benefits they receive from the government as positive contributions to social progress. However, when the government extends similar benefits to others, it is perceived as socialist or government overreach. This juxtaposition reflects a subjective and self-centered attitude, where one's own advantages are viewed as rightful and justified, while the same benefits provided to others are seen as undeserved or unfair. This quote exposes the inconsistency or inherent biases present in some individuals' perception of government actions.
