A comment on Richest 1% on target to own two-thirds of all wealth by 2030. Parent comment
Your assertion isn't self evident. A government could have great power within its defined scope of power and little power outside that scope.
There is also a reasonable argument that as the scope and strength of government power increases so does the desire to corrupt and control that power.
Which is more dangerous a corrupt but weak and limited government or a corrupt strong and expansive government?
