To them, he wasn\u2019t talking about tweaking tax brackets or expanding a program. He was challenging the moral status of the individual, suggesting that the American emphasis on self-reliance is not just insufficient, but cold\u2014something to be overcome rather than honored. That is why conservatives immediately reached for history\u2019s harshest verdicts on collectivist experiments. They were not arguing that New York is about to become Moscow in 1937; they were warning that the logic is similar, even if the scale is smaller and the methods softer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>This is why the backlash feels less like routine partisanship and more like a clash of first principles.
