Every one of them. I often challenge people to dig deeper into any perceived ill and it becomes plain that the government either created it, allowed it to flourish, or made it worse. Problem is, this requires step by step analysis - and people do not want to mentality exert themselves. If a "thought" doesn't fit into a slogan, it is too much for most.
