If the government does not have power, someone else will. The governments power is meant to balance out the power of individuals, so that a few do not control society. I would argue that with that amount of power, government necessarily has the ability to cause harm to the economy/society. Otherwise it fails as a government. Stripping the government of power will do nothing. We must fix it.
