It doesn’t work long term, the government can’t be all things to all people. You do eventually run out of other people’s money to spend, as per Margaret Thatcher. When you treat your population like infants you stop innovation and growth. You are correct about the majority of the people wanting to continue their consumption unbothered by any real choices or deeper thinking. There was a reason the founding fathers limited suffrage to property owners. We now have people voting themselves benefits without any stake in the system, and worse government actively looting private property. These are mad times we live in, mad.

What people are calling "liberalism" today is really leftism: social freedom, and economic control, which is the politics of children. What do children want? Answer: to be given everything for free, and to be allowed to do whatever they want. Is this what you advocate? Real Liberalism is Liberty. And liberty is defined by the right to freedom and the persuit of happiness. This means owning ones own life energy. To do this implies self reliance, and personal responsibility. Morality is to produce what one consumes, otherwise one must steal from some other moral individual. This article makes no sense, and is more left wing nonsense with no basis in realty.

IMHO, this is your best piece of work to date. Kudos for distilling such complex intangible thoughts into eloqent critique. On a lighter note, the next time I try to work my charm with the ladies I believe I will lead off with the fiat currency discussion.
