Both major parties,
Democrats and Republicans, promote
agendas, special interests, and the welfare
of their party and its financial supporters
above the welfare of the country.

Once you expect the government (meaning bureaucrats, ideologues, various “do-gooders” and both right-wing and left-wing wackos, each with his or her own agenda) to control what “those people” do, those people will expect government to restrict, regulate, and set rules for you.
