"We the people" have tended to look to the government for help, during the past 100 years. As a result, its power has grown exponentially. "We" did this.
I agree that taking a "radical" view and doing away with massive portions of the government simply will not happen today. It is too much change, too quickly. I think it would be a generally good change, but if you try to do it in a day (or even a decade), chaos and economic hardship unknown in recent times will ensue.
