It's just the age old struggle for freedom of the many versus control by the few, played out in an economic dimension.

Government wants you to believe that they can look after you. If people didn't believe this, then government would be revealed as just a very expensive liability. Part of this is discrediting the free market and thereby discrediting the idea of freedom itself. Central control versus the free market. Slavery versus freedom.
