No, the more you have, the more incentive to be evil.
Also works with power to make decisions, obviously. Especially to make decisions for others.
That's where the "small government" thing comes from initially, but unfortunately it can't come some evolutionary way from benevolent oligarchs and politicians voted in. You have to defeat them both first, managing to avoid creating a new vertical power structure, and if successful, creating a clean environment, and then you can build something.
Now comes a question, though, why build something that has been tried and has devolved into what you have now, and will devolve again much faster, not in a century or so, but in a decade or less, because you can't make the environment clean in all dimensions.
