The depressing thing here is that it is going to a wrong direction. Instead of working to reduce the intervention of the politicians in the private affairs, what would inevitably happen is more money spent on lobbying, more laws bought by these money and more politicians and and government functionaries having their services to offer for sale. Instead of government getting smaller, the government will get bigger - and this would be paid by exactly the businesses who suffered from the expansion of the government. They just will pay so the other guys would suffer instead of them, now that they have enough money to play the game.
