Not just the state. Corporate leadership is no better. The universities are no better. Hollywood is no better.

The situation is a lot more complicated than big vs small government.

Deregulatory capture exists as well. Don't fall for the neoconservative lies about markets; free markets are not always competitive, and competitive markets are not always free.
