In the US, we don't use the government for the collective good of the people. If it's something that individuals and small groups can do themselves, it's "not the government's job."

Managing speeding? Post on social media about how people need to slow down. Do what grandma do.

Feeding school children? Have a food drive one time a year for the community and forget about it the rest of the time.

Need to pay for medical care? Run a Go Fund Me and get your neighbor's help.

Many americans will open their pockets for small charities, but god forbid you tax them a little more so that everyone benefits from a more efficient system.

We the people apparently want to feel empowered to run an inefficient system ourselves.
