Obviously you don't understand the concept of freedom and liberty if you have to ask that question.

That is a question from a raw socialist perspective. Its a twist on the old question, If you have nothing to hide, why are you against the police searching your house without a warrant?.
The problem is that once you make a decision for someone that really only involves them and their personal safety, you have taken away their freedom to choose their own destiny. They have become your ward.
If you take away a persons freedom to fail, you ipso-facto take away their freedom to succeed. After all, if their success is because you made the decisions for them, it is not their success, it is yours. Which means you are the one that has the power, not them. They are merely well taken care of pets.
