The Danger Of Big Government — It's Not Just About Obama

SEE HERE Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely is a quote attributed to Lord Acton. But not only does power corrupt, but it leads to large bureaucratic institutions that lack accountability and as it grows they exercise more and more arbitrary power and are finally out of control and virtually impossible to rein in. The recent IRS scandals are showing an example of this but so are the EPA excesses, police excesses, and other power abuses. Big government is essentially totalitarian in impulse.
