I think otherwise. The sooner the nation gets back to a standard where the GOVT is NOT responsible to do such things, the better. Who, after all, are the rulers? The Sovereigns? Amiright? It's the PEOPLE.  It's the PEOPLE that have to keep the govt in check. When the people bow out, that's when govt goes rampant and falls into corruption. Case in point: last 100 years.  Having a civil organiation spearhead this makes 100% sense from that perspective. Sure, once the govt and swamp are cleaned, you want to have in place built-in mechanisms that make lapsing into corruption impossible, but for now, WHY look to government? That's the origin of the problem.  Limited, restricted government, with the sovereigns - the PEOPLE - watching over and governing it - that's the model that protects the nation.  It's the responsibility of you, I and all citizens to keep our government(s) accountable. That's the only way it works.  So, reduce taxes, so that you can contribute instead to incredible organizations like Judicial Watch, I say.
