Shouldn't the government do it?

Occupy Australia video:

  Note in the latter portion of this short video what the belligerent occupier says to the bystander; the filmer queries an older bystander, saying "Your generation is the biggest problem we have."
   The old guy says he volunteers for 4 or 5 organizations, to which the filmer says sneeringly, “You don’t get paid for it?” Then….”Why do you do volunteer work? With all the taxes we pay, shouldn’t you expect the government to do it?”

  The old guy has the old fashioned mentality that people should help others out of the goodness of their hearts, rather than waiting for a faceless government bureaucrat to make room in his schedule for the needy.
