Many just don't want any change, because the system is kinda working for them. Either because they are wealthy or because they are on receiving end of the money redistribution. Some can't imagine a world in which the state plays much smaller role. And they will attack you if you suggest it.

Sadly I don't see it only in the rich countries. The cry for help from the government seems to be universal in the poor countries as well. "I wish the government took better care of me/us" is quite common.
