Do you work for Rawstory?

If you want to worry about big government, worry about corporations who lobby to make laws controlling more media. Liberals despite what you think do not like more control of data by big business. I do not like Facebook's data mining crap for example.
I also didn't like Universal Music trying to bully an ABBA fan run internet radio station into stopping. Eventually they backed off.
If you want to worry about bullies, worry about our growing plutocracy, not government.
Your saying I should just ignore this problem because there is a bigger problem somewhere else? Thats not a very good counter argument.
Also I subscribe to the view that the bigger the government, the more reason corporations and others have to lobby it. In my opinion limiting the growth and reach of government is ineffect limiting the growth and reach big corporations can have on my life.
