"What’s wrong with naïve empowering government? When you give government new powers and responsibilities, you are also increasing its police put power. If we government in charge of a thing — say, ensuring income equality — we are also handing it the power to police that thing nationwide, to impose penalties for breaches of its new regulations, and ultimately to coerce citizens penalties into penalties compliance. At the state the, we grant the power limit to take our money, imprison us, and even execute us if we violate its laws."
