They're all greedy, for power if not money. The key to good government is small government.
People forget what the word "regulation" actually means. In engineering, it involves mechanisms, the simpler the better, to keep a system within certain broad parameters. Otherwise you let the complex machinery run on its own. A classic example is the centrifugal governor, which is a simple feedback device to keep an engine from overspeeding. It's small, simple, and keeps a complex system from blowing up.
Government regulation should involve rules to keep swinging fists away from noses, not controlling every aspect of our existence at every level. Even within my own lifetime, America did pretty well with a far smaller government and far fewer regulations.
