You say that individuals with power may do bad things and states with power do good things. Yes, that can happen. But also there may be individuals with power that do very good things and states with power that do very bad things.

True, but states have rules, and in a democracy we as people determine the rules (in theory). Individuals as powerful as a state on the other hand have no rule. I want to have a say on what our resources are used for, not leave the decision to an individual who by the way has very probably got rich through morally questionable business practices.
