Nanny State

The Nanny State is a slight of reference to the tendency of liberal politicians to enact socialism or Stalinist ideas. It is a Democrat method of solving society's problems by putting the government in control of the people. Essentially, the government becomes the decision maker as the person who knows what is in your best interest.

Examples
