From responsibility to dependency
In his inaugural speech on January 20, 1961, President Kennedy said,
Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.

His understanding unleashed a host of civic-duty-type organizations, like the Peace Corps. Fifty years later the blanket of government entitlements has smothered the concept of self-reliance.
