Affecting governments size doesn't change a thing. Rich would still have more power to abuse. Difference would be that no one would be making sure that they don't abuse it too much. Too big government's problem is that it can be good if all politicians are good, but when corrupted it will be bad system. I personally support platon's idea of a government (however with small amounts of change in order to fit it to modern world.)

Power corrupts is bullshit claim. Ever heard about world's poorest president? Yeah google that shit out if you really are that stupid that power corrupts. Power corrupts only people who either are already corrupted or prone to it. Aka weak willed people. Best government would be close to plato's utopia. Since even in small government rich would have all the power.

2. They could, but that is a problem which can be fixed. You aren't seeing things far enough. For every problem there is a solution. Your/right wing solution to corruption obviously haven't been working at all. So is it wrong and even bad to suggest and try another system which is focused on cleansing corruption out from the system.
