Is Government Too Powerful?

Yes.  Next question?

Gallup is out with a new poll showing the number of Americans who think the government has too much power at a record high:

PRINCETON, NJ — Six in 10 Americans (60%) believe the federal government has too much power, one percentage point above the previous high recorded in September 2010. At least half of Americans since 2005 have said the government has too much power. Thirty-two percent now say the government has the right amount of power. Few say it has too little power.

I suspect the slow-learning 7 percent who say the government has too little power are all college professors.  Bureaucrats know the power they have.  Just ask Lois Lerner.
