The problem is not that the government decides, it's that we have corrupt scoundrels running our government.

Nonsense. There is no magical class of Philosopher Kings or Friends of the People or Pureblooded Aryans or New Soviet Men or anything else that will make Big Government "work" if only they take charge from the "corrupt" people currently in charge.

Where did I say that, dingus? If you had read further, you'd see that I said our leaders are corrupt because WE as a people are corrupt. You can not expect corrupt people to elect virtuous leaders. Nor can you expect corrupt people to care when their leaders are corrupt.
