Fourth, power will be misused eventually. Every power you grant to a politician you like will eventually be used by someone you don't like, to do something you don't want. A government program or mandate is like Pandora's box - and once you open it, all the guarantees the politicians gave you will be worthless. Remember this when someone tells you that vouchers won't be used to control private schools, or that censorship of the Internet won't curtail anything but pornography. Fifth, government doesn't work.
Government confiscates a large percentage of the national wealth.
It uses that money to decimate our schools, to destroy our health care system, and to maintain a permanent underclass of welfare recipients. Despite good intentions, once government gets involved the problem always gets worse. Politicians may assure us that they are omniscient and omnipotent, but one would be well advised to put one's faith elsewhere. Sixth, government will break its limits. America's unique success stems from the way the Founding Fathers set up the federal government.
