Why Big Government Doesn’t Work
Government fulfills its ambitions through compulsion, which reduces choice. Sometimes compulsion is necessary – you can’t fund national defense by passing around a collection plate. When government exceeds the minimal functions necessary to provide stability and security, and begins interfering in the economy for the benefit of certain constituencies, by definition it reduces the overall choices available to its citizens. It doesn’t matter if the government’s intentions are noble – every law it passes to redistribute wealth inevitably reduces wealth, because it reduces choice.

Big Government
Big anything doesn’t work. Ask James J. Ling.
And it’s not so much “reducing choice” as it is not knowing where wealth comes from in the first place.
