Do Unto Others

People want a government that will force other people do things.

People don’t want the government forcing them to do things, so they want limited government.

This is do unto others, but not unto me. A slight distortion of the golden rule.

Political power does not attract the best people. It throws up power seekers and self-servers. Sometimes a really nasty person will get to hold political power.

Giving these people the power of the state, amplifies their ability to do harm.
