IMO that unwillingness is the source of the majority of humanity's problems. There is a natural tendency for human beings to try and place the blame for things anywhere but on themselves. In most people it's an unconscious habit that we try to correct when it comes to our awareness.
Liberals however have developed that tendency into an intentional act as a primary means of accomplishing their goals. Displacing responsibility is a fundamental feature of socialist and communist ideologies. Karl Marx developed his communist theory on a principle of denying personal responsibility for actions.
It is the antithesis of the principles our Founding Fathers relied on to craft the framework of our government. Self reliance requires personal responsibility. Communism and socialism require transferring responsibility to the government.
