Actor Bill Murray on Friday said he believes Americans need to be more personally responsible for their well-being.
"I think we ought to be personally responsible," he said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Friday morning. "I think if you can take care of yourself, and then maybe try to take care of someone else, that's sort of how you're supposed to live.
"It's not a question of asking other people for help or being rescued or anything like that," he continued. "I think we've sort of gotten used to someone looking out for us, and I don't think any other person is necessarily going to be counted on to look out for us.

Oooops he stepped on one........will he be able to get off it safely?
Bill Murray comes from a VERY LARGE Catholic Family!
Of course he’s talking like a conservative.
Murray’s in Pebble Beach all this week hanging out with a bunch of rich white guys and playing golf.
That’s the fact Jack..
“So you think we should all take responsibility for our own lives?”
“THAT’S A FACT, JACK!!”
Couldn’t resist. :)
“Murray’s in Pebble Beach all this week hanging out with a bunch of rich white guys and playing golf.”
LOL.
Up here in the mountains, we watch out for, have concern and care for neighbors and friends real time.
Here everybody knows everybody for 15 miles around.
You sit down comedy routine, had me trying to loosen my collar...
Great impression of an Occupy Something wing-nut.
It’s too bad Judge Smails wasn’t around to give Baraq career counseling......
“Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too. “
“I said stay so you stayed? I can’t even make a collie stay.”
Love,
Hollywood.
Theres a difference between you looking out for someone and they depending on it. He,at leasy in my opinion,took exception with people expecting or depending on it.
I’m one of the few people who liked the movie THE RAZOR’S EDGE with Bill Murray. I think he’s deeper than a lot of people realize.
How dandy for you and your friends up on the mountain.
You should come down out of the clouds once in a while and note the direction of much of the rest of Obamanation.
Did you bother to read Murray’s comments?
All he is saying is that too much of the country has become accustomed to relying on someone else to take care of them; and that the American way used to be that we all strove to pull our own weight, with maybe a little something left over for those around us.
I don’t know about up there on high but across too much of the fruited plain the enemy IS anomie, among other structural curses and blights...and at least Murray, damned near alone amongst celebrities, is speaking out against it.
I’ve spent the last sixty-eight years trying to be personally responsible but it’s the government that keeps screwing me up.
