I think it's because individuals don't care unless they're affected directly by what's going on around them. For instance, the bank bailouts a few years ago during the financial crisis and people were up in arms about it and rightfully so, when their tax dollars were going to keep the same loan sharks in business who caused the mess in the first place. But since then, except for the Occupy Movement, people have more or less forgotten about what caused it and idiotically fought tooth and nail against any measure that would keep it from happening again.
