The Big Money People do not want environmental regulations. They do not want alternative energy research. They do not want subsidized healthcare that takes away from their profit. They do not want banking regulations, etc.
Without an all-out system change the government is the only entity that stands between the people, and all-out corporate control.
I don't like big government either, but unless we restart from scratch, a balance is still needed, however it can be achieved.

Only an illusion of a balance will be created. It is necessary for the states and the people to reclaim their rights from the federal government and demand that it is smaller. (not saying state governments are without corruption, but at least you can move out of a state 'easily')
You can not have these people controlling it and expect a balance. Maybe you are talking about a balance between Federal and State and The People. If that is the case you are right. But for that balance to happen the Federal and state governments MUST get smaller.
