Big government can't possibly be good government

It’s a good bet that no matter where you are on the political spectrum — liberal, conservative, libertarian or something else — you want men and women in government to be honest, humble, fair, wise, independent, responsible, incorruptible, mindful of the future and respectful of others.
But you may be holding profoundly contradictory views without realizing it. This is the bottom line: The bigger government gets, the less likely it will attract men and women who possess those traits we all say we want.
