Here is a surprisingly simple explanation of why some people insist upon growing government, and it sort makes sense. That is, it sort of makes sense if you think your rights depend upon robbing somebody else.
Words From The Past
Lord, whatever you want, wherever you want it, and whenever you want it, that's what I want. --Richard Baxter (from here)

It’s a good argument. However, as a premise, he’s granting the left with good intentions, which I don’t. So the argument fails..
And, even granting those good intentions, how would that excuse forcing folks to work for others benevolent ideals. It’s fairly easy to be generous with stuff you don’t own.
When I thought about replying this idiom, as is my wont, I decided to do a little research.
A Wikipedia article on the quote includes this line.
On the day we are born, only God knows our fate. Nonetheless, I doubt any human being begins life thoroughly corrupt — wholly beyond redemption. All I know is that we supply our action with motives that at least seem unselfish. God only knows the extent we ourselves believe our own excuses.
