This guy elaborates on my central thoughts....

Reducing or even eliminating most of the Federal Government will go a long way to reducing corruption, influence peddling and the power of individuals over elections and government officials. Why we give these people this much economic power is a complete mystery to me. With TRILLIONS of resources available to a small numbers of individuals instead of the millions that it is seized from, how could one expect that this massive pile of money will do nothing but attract many many people seeking a piece of this pie?
