This is what happens when the people aren't educated, don't know how to think for themselves, and don't know how to resist propaganda. Solve those problems, and the size of the government would be irrelevant.
The real problem is the degeneration of the ability to think critically in the populace. It just keeps getting worse, and the corruption at the top is feeding it. It's a self-perpetuating cycle...the people get dumber, and government gets away with more...the loudest voice always wins, now.
