Back

The more a government takes on, the more inept it becomes. The more inept it becomes, the worse people it attracts. As the caliber of people gets worse the more derelict the government becomes.
The farther a government progresses on this spiral the more tyranical, despotic and intrusive it becomes. As it grows nastier, the people get worse.

The government of the UK is a classic example of this. The US isn't far behind.

Those who advocate for remaining on this path are called Progressives.
