Big government is Authoritarianism.

I agree

trouble is, everything seems to get corrupted.

Marx and Lenin turned into the abomination of Stalin.

Free market utopia seems to turn into cronyism.

how can human greed and self-interest really be curbed?

Mary Landrieu is the one that doles out all the pork in Louisiana. She has fought constantly for you to be able to keep your sugar subsidies.
