People deserve the power they have. In fact, when we talk about good/bad leaders or society, we are simply trying to shift responsibility.

shift responsibility? What do you mean by that?
The leaders of a country don't just bear the title of leaders for nothing. The previledge of leading people comes not just with previledges but also responsibility. If you have a leader that takes the need of his led as his problem, he will set out systems that will help meet those needs. As much as those that are led have thier own personal responsibilities to themselves, the leaders also have thier own responsibilities to the people they are leading. This is just like refusing to provide for your household because you feel the child needs to be responsible for himself even when by the virtue of your role as a father, you've been given a lot of things that will enable you take care of the kids effectively. Both the leaders and the citizens can't be left out in this discussion and calling on one to be accountable doesn't mean you're shifting responsibility.
