From Reagan, A Life in Letters:

Today so many things we once thought of as personal or private responsibility are now just accepted as government's job.

Government exists to protect rights which are ours from birth; the right to life, to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A man may choose to sit and fish instead of working. That's his pursuit of happiness. He does not have the right to force his neighbors to support him (welfare) in his pursuit because that interferes with their pursuit of happiness.
