Why is there so much corruption in and around government? Good question.
A new Center for Freedom and Prosperity video with Dan Mitchell asks: “Want less corruption?”
The answer provided in the video – which is right on the mark – is: “Shrink the size of government.”
The point is undeniable: When government is so big – spending other people’s money, doling out massive subsidies, and imposing myriad regulations and taxes – special interests want to secure their “piece of the action.” No matter how many ethics measures are passed, the only surefire way to reduce the corruption that comes with big government is to shrink government.
Check out the video.
