That point has already been passed.
I have seen it in gang killings.
If an innocent bystander is killed by a gang member, it's almost accepted. There is outrage for the connected family but, the neighborhood just goes about business as usual.
If, in the process, a gang member is killed by a cop, they take to the streets with candle light vigils and cries for justice or no peace, as if they had peace in the first place.
Robbery victims want compensation from the government.
Foreclosures are handed over to the state for a bail-out.
Illness from obesity, smoking, drug abuse and dangerous lifestyles are blamed on those who don't participate in the conduct.
Terrorist attacks are blamed on the government.
Prices are blamed on the government and action is demanded.
I could go on all day...

It can't happen in the United States, because US citizens receive almost no support from the government. As a case in point, Social Security is paid through payroll deduction by the Social Security recipient.

Yes, definitely. Too many people are totally dependent on the government. Have no self sufficency at all. And it gets worse with each successive generation.

yes a point in time will come when people are dependent on government because they have nothing left except to look at the government for social and heath services.

Yes. It's happening now. It's called the "Welfare Plantation". Check out Star Parker, she knows all about it. She got off it and is happier than ever.

All you have to do is look at the response of individuals to
hurricane Katrina before, during, and after the storm and
you have your answer!

It came to that point about 60 years ago and has gotten worse ever since.

Yes, absolutely. I fear we are almost there now.
