De: " Most of the Founders were well studied in both philosophy and human history, and history is fraught with examples of government corruption and treachery."
More specifically, EVERY government has a special class of “bureaucrats” and, as far as I know, in NO case is the title of “bureaucrat” or even “government worker” an approbation. In every case, the bureaucrats accrue power and money for themselves in outsized proportion to their actual contribution.
I don't know...maybe the Founders didn't see that problem in the 13 colonies? But that seems impossible.
